When The Ship Comes In chords by The Clancy Brothers

Guitar chords with lyrics

C       Em      F     C
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
     Am     F      C
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
     C        Em       F    C
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
   C      F   G  C
The hour when the ship comes in.

     Em           F    C
And the seas will split and the ship will hit
     Em      F         C
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
     C     Em       F     C
Then the tide will sound and the waves will pound
     C   F   G   C
And the morning will be breaking.

    C      Em      F       C
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
     Am    F     C
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
     C      Em    F    C
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
   C       F   G  C
The hour that the ship comes in.

     Em             F      C
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
   Em      F        C
Will not be understood as they're spoken
     Em             F       C
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
    C       F      G  C
And be buried at the bottom of the ocean.

   C     Em      F    C
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
     Am     F     C
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
     C     Em      F      C
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
   C       F   G  C
The hour that the ship comes in.

     Em           F    C
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
     Em  F       C
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
     C     Em     F       C
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
     C      F    G  C
That the whole wide world is watchin'.


Harmonica Break

    C     Em       F          C
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
       Am       F           C
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
       C          Em        F         C
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
   C       F   G  C
The hour that the ship comes in.

       Em               F       C
Then they'll raise their hands sayin' we'll meet all your demands
      Em       F         C
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered
      C    Em        F       C
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
    C     F    G   C
