C Em F C
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
Am F C
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
C Em F C
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
C F G C
The hour when the ship comes in.
Em F C
And the seas will split and the ship will hit
Em F C
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
C Em F C
Then the tide will sound and the waves will pound
C F G C
And the morning will be breaking.
C Em F C
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Am F C
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
C Em F C
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
C F G C
The hour that the ship comes in.
Em F C
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Em F C
Will not be understood as they're spoken
Em F C
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
C F G C
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean.
C Em F C
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
Am F C
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
C Em F C
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
C F G C
The hour that the ship comes in.
Em F C
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
Em F C
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
C Em F C
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
C F G C
That the whole wide world is watchin'.
Harmonica Break
C Em F C
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
Am F C
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
C Em F C
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
C F G C
The hour that the ship comes in.
Em F C
Then they'll raise their hands sayin' we'll meet all your demands
Em F C
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
C Em F C
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
C F G C
Like Goliath, they'll be conquered.
