Hollies - When The Ship Comes In
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C G Bm D G
C G
Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop
Em C G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathing
C G
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
Em C G
The hour when the ship comes in
Bm C G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
Bm C G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
Bm C G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
C D G
And the morning will be breaking
N.C. G C G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Em C G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
C G
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
Em C G
The hour that the ship comes in
Bm C G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Bm C G
Will not be understood as they are spoken
Bm C G
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
C D G
And be buried at the bottom of the o___cean
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G Em C G C G Em C G
Bm C G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
Bm C G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
Bm C G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
C D G
And the morning will be breaking
N.C. G C G
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
Em C G
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
C G
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
Em C G
The hour when the ship comes in
Bm C G
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
Bm C G
For your weary toes to be a-touching
Bm C G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
C D G
That the whole wide world is watching
