Intro:
FF  BB  FF  DmDm  BB  C majorC  FF

    FF             BB     FF
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
    DmDm     BB      FF
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
                     BB     FF
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
         BB  C majorC   FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
    C majorC            BB     FF
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
    C majorC      BB         FF
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
          C majorC      BB     FF
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
        BB  FF C majorC   FF BB C majorC FF
And the mornin' will be breakin'!

FF                BB        FF
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
    DmDm    BB      FF
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
                BB    FF
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
         BB  C majorC   FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
    C majorC             BB        FF
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
   C majorC      BB        FF
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
           C majorC       BB       FF
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
           BB   FF C majorC    FF BB C majorC FF
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean.

FF             BB     FF
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
    DmDm     BB    FF
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
                BB      FF
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
         BB  C majorC   FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
    C majorC           BB     FF
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
     C majorC   BB      FF
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
          C majorC      BB        FF
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
          BB   FF C majorC   FF BB C majorC FF
That the whole wide world is watchin'!

FF               BB          FF
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
       DmDm       BB           FF
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
                          BB         FF
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
         BB  C majorC   FF
The hour that the ship comes in.
      C majorC                BB       FF
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
     C majorC       BB         FF
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
          C majorC        BB        FF
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
         BB    FF C majorC    FF  BB C majorC FF
And like Goliath they'll be conquered!
