Oh, the time will [Bm] come up when the winds [G] will stop [Em] and the breeze will cease [G] to be breathing
Like the stillness in [Bm] the wind before [C] the hurricane [G] begins
The hour that the [D] ship comes in
[F#] And the sea will split and [C] the ships [G] will hit
And [Bm] the sands on [Am] the shoreline [G] will be shaking
And the tide [Bm] will sound [Am] and the waves [G] will pound
And the morning will be [D] a [C] [G] breaking
The fishes will [Bm] laugh [Am] as they swim [G] out of the path
And the [Em] seagulls [C] will be [G] smiling
And the rocks on [Bm] the sand [Am] will [C] proudly [G] stand
The hour [D] that the ship [G] comes in
[Bm] And the words that are [Em] used for to get the [G] ship confused
[Em] Will not be [C] understood as the [G] spoken
For the [A] chains of [Bm] the sea will [Am] have busted in [G] the night
And be buried off the bottom [D] of the [G] ocean
A song [Bm] will lift as [C] the [G] mainsail shifts
And [Em] the boat [C] drifts onto [G] the shoreline
And the sun [Bm] will respect every face [G] on the deck
The hour that [D] the ship [G] comes in
And [Bm] the sands will roll [C] out a carpet [G] of gold
For [Em] your weary [C] toes to [G] be touching
And the ship's wise [E] men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world [D] is [A]
[G] watching

Oh, the foes [D] will rise [Am] with the sleep [G] still in their eyes
[Em] And they'll jerk from their beds [G] and think they're dreaming
But they'll pinch themselves [Bm] and squeal
And they'll [C] know that it's [G] for real
The hour that the [D] ship comes [G] in
And they'll [Bm] raise their hands and say
[C] We'll meet [G] all your demands
But [Bm] we'll shout from the [Am] bow your [G] days are numbered
And like [Bm] Pharaoh's tribe [Am] they'll be drownded [G] in the tide
And like Goliath's they'll be [A] [G] conquered
