When The Ship Comes In Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F B F Dm B C F

Oh the Ftime will come up when the Bwind will Fstop

And the Dmbreeze will Bcease to be Fbreathin'

Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the Bhurricane Fbegins

The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

Oh the Cseas will split and the Bship will Fhit

And the Csand on the Bshoreline will be Fshakin'

And the tide will sCound and the Bwaves will Fpound

And the mornin' Bwill Fbe CbreakiFn'!B C F

FOh the fishes will laugh as they Bswim out of the Fpath

And the Dmseagulls, Bthey'll be sFmilin'

And the rocks on the sand will Bproudly Fstand

The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

And the Cwords that are used for to Bget the ship confFused

Will nCot be understBood as they're spFoken'

For the chains of the Csea will have Bbusted in the Fnight

And be buried on the Bbottom Fof Cthe oceaFn. B C F

FOh a song will lift as the Bmainsail sFhifts

And the Dmboat drifts Bonto the Fshoreline

And the sun will respect every Bface on the Fdeck

The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

And the Csands will roll out a Bcarpet of Fgold

For your Cweary tBoes to be a Ftouchin'

And the ship's wise Cmen will remBind you once agaFin

That the whole wide Bworld Fis CwatchiFn'!B C F

FOf the foes will rise with the Bsleep still in their Feyes

And they'll jDmerk from their Bbeds and think they're Fdreamin'

But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll Bknow that it's for Freal

The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

And they'll Craise their hands sayin' "We'll Bmeet all your Fdemands"

But we'll Cshout from the Bbow "Your days are Fnumbered!"

And like Pharaoh's Ctribe they'll be Bdrownded in the Ftide

And like Goliath Bthey'll Fbe CconquereFd! B C F
