Intro:
FF BB FF DmDm BB C majorC FF
FF BB FF
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
DmDm BB FF
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
BB FF
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
BB C majorC FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
C majorC BB FF
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
C majorC BB FF
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
C majorC BB FF
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
BB FF C majorC FF BB C majorC FF
And the mornin' will be breakin'!
FF BB FF
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
DmDm BB FF
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
BB FF
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
BB C majorC FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
C majorC BB FF
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
C majorC BB FF
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
C majorC BB FF
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
BB FF C majorC FF BB C majorC FF
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean.
FF BB FF
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
DmDm BB FF
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
BB FF
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
BB C majorC FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
C majorC BB FF
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
C majorC BB FF
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
C majorC BB FF
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
BB FF C majorC FF BB C majorC FF
That the whole wide world is watchin'!
FF BB FF
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
DmDm BB FF
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
BB FF
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
BB C majorC FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
C majorC BB FF
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
C majorC BB FF
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
C majorC BB FF
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
BB FF C majorC FF BB C majorC FF
And like Goliath they'll be conquered!
