Hollies - When The Ship Comes In


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G+G  C majorC G+G B minorBm D MajorD G+G

                  C majorC     G+G
Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop
    E minorEm     C majorC       G+G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathing
                     C majorC      G+G
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
  E minorEm      C majorC     G+G
The hour when the ship comes in

    B minorBm           C majorC     G+G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
    B minorBm    C majorC       G+G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
          B minorBm      C majorC     G+G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
        C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
And the morning will be breaking


N.C.  G+G             C majorC        G+G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
    E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
             C majorC       G+G
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
  E minorEm      C majorC     G+G
The hour that the ship comes in


    B minorBm             C majorC        G+G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
   B minorBm     C majorC         G+G
Will not be understood as they are spoken
           B minorBm      C majorC       G+G
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
           C majorC       D MajorD  G+G
And be buried at the bottom of the o___cean


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G  C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G  C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G

    B minorBm           C majorC     G+G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit
    B minorBm    C majorC       G+G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking
          B minorBm      C majorC     G+G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
        C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
And the morning will be breaking


N.C. G+G           C majorC    G+G
A augmentedA  song will lift as the mainsail shifts
    E minorEm  C majorC        G+G
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
                C majorC      G+G
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
  E minorEm      C majorC     G+G
The hour when the ship comes in


     B minorBm          C majorC     G+G
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
     B minorBm  C majorC      G+G
For your weary toes to be a-touching
          B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
          C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
