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
