Hollies - When The Ship Comes In


CAPO: 2nd Fret




INTRO: G    C  G  Bm  D  G

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

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


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL: G    C  G  Em  C  G    C  G  Em  C  G


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


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


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