Oh, the time will [Abm] come up when [A] the wind will [E] stop
[Dbm] and the breeze [A] will cease to be [E] breezin'.
Like the stillness [Abm] on the wind [A] before the hurricane [E] begins,
the hour that [B] the ship [E] comes in.
[Abm] And the sea will split [A] as the ship [E] will hit
and the [A] shoreline sands [E] will be shakin'.
[Abm] And the tide will [A] pound and [E] the wind will sound
and the morning [Dbm] will [B] be [A]
[E] breakin'.
Oh, the fish [Abm] will laugh [A] as they swim [E] out of the path
and [Dbm] the seagulls, they will be [E] a -smilin'.
And the rocks [Abm] and the sand [A] will proudly [E] stand
the hour [B] that the ship [E] comes in.
And [Abm] the words that are used for to [A] get the [E] ship confused
[Abm] will not be [A] understood when [E] they're spoken.
And the chains [Abm] of the sea [A] will be busted [E] in the night
and be buried at [Db] the bottom [B] of the [A] [E]
ocean.
Oh, a song [Abm] will lift as [A] the [E] mainsail shifts
[Dbm] and the ship [A] drifts heavy [E] on the shoreline.
And the sun [Abm] will respect every face [E] on the deck
the hour [B] that the ship [E] comes in.
[Abm] And the sand will roll [A] out pretty [E] gold
[Abm] for your weary [A] toes to be a [E]
-touchin'.
And the ship's wise [E] men will remind you once again
that the whole wide world [Abm] is
[A] [E] watching.

[B] [E] And our foes [Abm] will rise [A] with the sweet still [E] in their eyes
and they'll jerk from [A] their beds and [E] think they're dreamin'.
And they'll pinch [Abm] themselves and squeal
[A] and they'll know that it's [E] for real
the hour [B] that the ship [E] comes in.
And [Abm] they'll raise their hands [A] saying,
we'll meet all [E] your demands.
And [Abm] we'll shout from [A] the bow, your [E] days are numbered.
And [Abm] like [A] Pharaoh's tribe, they'll [E] be downed and in the tide.
And like Goliath, [Dbm] they'll [B] be [A] [E] conquered.
[Dbm] and the breeze [A] will cease to be [E] breezin'.
