Oh the
F
time will come up when the
B
wind will
F
stop
And the
Dm
breeze
will
B
cease to be
F
breathin’
Like the stillness in the wind ‘fore the
B
hurricane
F
begins
The hour that the
B
ship
C
comes
F
in.
Oh the
C
seas will split and the
B
ship will
F
hit
And the
C
sand on the
B
shoreline will be
F
shakin’
And the tide will s
C
ound and the
B
waves will
F
pound
And the mornin’
B
will
F
be
C
breaki
F
n’!

F
Oh the fishes will laugh as they
B
swim out of the
F
path
And the
Dm
seagulls,
B
they’ll be
F
smilin’
And the rocks on the sand will
B
proudly
F
stand
The hour that the
B
ship
C
comes
F
in.
And the
C
words that are used for to
B
get the ship conf
F
used
Will n
C
ot be underst
B
ood as they’re sp
F
oken’
For the chains of the
C
sea will have
B
busted in the
F
night
And be buried on the
B
bottom
F
of
C
the
ocea
F

F
Oh a song will lift as the
B
mainsail
s
F
hifts
And the
Dm
boat
drifts
B
onto
the
F
shoreline
And the sun will respect every
B
face on the
F
deck
The hour that the
B
ship
C
comes
F
in.
And the
C
sands will roll out a
B
carpet of
F
gold
For your
C
weary
t
B
oes to be a
F
touchin’
And the ship’s wise
C
men will rem
B
ind you once aga
F
in
That the whole wide
B
world
F
is
C
watchi

F
F
Of the foes will rise with the
B
sleep still in their
F
eyes
And they’ll j
Dm
erk from their
B
beds and think they’re
F
dreamin’
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal and they’ll
B
know that it’s for
F
real
The hour that the
B
ship
C
comes
F
in.
And they’ll
C
raise their hands sayin’ “We’ll
B
meet all your
F
demands”
But we’ll
C
shout from the
B
bow “Your days are
F
numbered!”
And like Pharaoh’s
C
tribe they’ll be
B
drownded in the
F
tide
And like Goliath
B
they’ll
F
be
C
conquere
