When The Ship Comes In
By Bob Dylan - 


 G                     D           C          G  
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
        Em          C             G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin’
         G                D               C           G           
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
     G             D          G
 The hour that the ship comes in
        D        C             G  
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
         D            C                 G
 And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
        D                         C          G                   
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
          G       C        D    G
 And the morning will be a-breaking.


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


 G          D           C         G  
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
        Em   C               G
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
         G          D          C           G           
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
      G           D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
        D          C          G  
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
         D       C            G
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
        D           C          G                   
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
         G          C        D  G
That the whole wide world is watchin'


 G               D             C                    G  
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes 
            Em              C                      G
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
    G                            D           
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal 
            C                  G
And they'll know that it's for real, 
       G          D          G  
The hour that the ship comes in.
            D           C                   G
And they'll raise their hands, sayin' we'll meet all your demands
          D              C                  G                   
But we'll shout from the bow, your days are numbered.
         D                             C               G                   
And like Pharaoh’s tribe they'll be drownded in the tide 
         G       C          D  G        D   G
And like Goliath they'll be conquered.
