Verse:
G9G9           D9D9     C majorC     G9G9
 Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
    E minor 7Em7     C9C9     G9G9
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
             D9D9       C majorC     G9G9
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
         C9C9     G9G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9D9    C majorC       G9G9
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
    D9D9      C majorC         G9G9
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
    D9D9    C majorC       G9G9
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
    E minor 7Em7   C9C9   D9D9 C majorC G9G9
And the morning will be a-breaking

Verse:
G9G9          D9D9      C majorC        G9G9
 Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
    E minor 7Em7   C9C9       G9G9
And the seagulls they will be a-smilin'
           D9D9    C majorC    G9G9
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
         C9C9     G9G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9D9       C majorC      G9G9
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
    D9D9     C majorC      G9G9
Will not be understood as they're spoken
    D9D9      C majorC       G9G9
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
    E minor 7Em7      C9C9      D9D9 C majorC  G9G9
And be buried on the bottom of the oooooocean

Break:
G9G9   C9C9 G9G9

Verse:
G9G9      D9D9     C majorC     G9G9
 A augmentedA song will lift as the main sail shifts
    E minor 7Em7    C9C9     G9G9
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
         D9D9      C majorC      G9G9
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
         C9C9     G9G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9D9     C majorC     G9G9
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
    D9D9     C majorC    G9G9
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
    D9D9     C majorC    G9G9
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
     E minor 7Em7     C9C9   D9D9 C majorC  G9G9
That the whole wide world is waaaaatchin'

Verse: (no chords)
G9G9         D9D9        C majorC         G9G9
 Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
      E minor 7Em7       C9C9          G9G9
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
       D9D9         C majorC
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
      G9G9
And they'll know that it's for real,
         C9C9     G9G9
The hour that the ship comes in
      D9D9     C majorC          G9G9
And they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
     D9D9       C majorC         G9G9
But we'll shout from the bow, Your days are numbered
     D9D9    C majorC        G9G9
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
     E minor 7Em7   C9C9     D9D9  C majorC  G9G9
And like Goliath they'll be cooooonquered

End:
