[G] [Em] [C] [G]
Oh, the time [Em] will come up [C] when the winds will [G] stop and [Em] the [C] breeze will be ceased [G] to be breathing
like the stillness in [Am] the wind before the [G] hurricane begins, the hour [A] that the ship comes [G] in.
And [F#] the sea will split and the ships [G] will hit [Am] and the sands on the [G] shoreline will be
shaking and the tide [A] will sound and the [G] waves will pound and the morning will be [D] breaking.
[Em] [C] [G]
Oh the fishes will [A] laugh [Am] as they swim [G] out of the path [Em] and the [C] seagulls they'll be [G] smiling
and the rocks [Am] on the sand will proudly [G] stand the [A] hour that the ship [G] comes in.
And the [F#] words that are [G#] used for to get [G] the ship confused will not be [A] understood as they're [G] spoken
for the chains of [A] the sea will [Am] have busted in the [G] night and be buried on the bottom [D] of the [C] [G] ocean.
[A] [Am] [G] [A]
[G]
A song [B] will lift [Am] as the [G] mainsail shifts and [Em] the boat drifts [G] onto the shoreline
and the sun will respect [Am] every face [G] on the deck the hour that the [D] ships come in.
Then [E] the sands will roll out [C] a carpet of [G] gold [Em] for your weary [C]
toes to be [G] a touching
and the ship's [A] wise men [Am] will remind you [G] once again that the whole wide world is [Am] [G] watching.
[Em] [G]
Oh the foes [E] will rise [Am] with the sleep still in [Em] their eyes and they'll jerk [C] from their beds
[G] and think they're dreaming but they'll pinch themselves and [Am] squeal and they'll know [G] that it's
for real the hour [A] that the ships [G] come in.
And they'll [E] raise their hands saying [Am] we'll meet all
your demands [F#] but we'll shout from [Am] the bow your [G] days are numbered and like [Em] Pharaoh's tribe [C] they'll be
drownded [G] in the tide and like [Em] Goliath [D] they'll be [Am] [G] conquered.

Oh, the time [Em] will come up [C] when the winds will [G] stop and [Em] the [C] breeze will be ceased [G] to be breathing
