Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) Oh, the
(G major) time will come up
When the (C major) winds will stop (A minor)
(G major) And the breeze will cease (C major)
to (D major) be breath (G major) in'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the (C major) hurricane begins
(A minor) (G major) The hour that the ship (C major) (D major) comes in (G major)
Verse 2
And the seas (E minor) will split
And the (C major) ship will hit (G major)
And the sands on the shoreline (E minor)
will (C major) (D major) be (G major) shaking
(D major) Then the (G major) tide will sound
And the (C major) wind will pound (A minor)
And the (G major) morning (C major) will be (D major) breaking
(G major)

Verse 3
Oh, the fishes will laugh
As they (C major) swim out of the path (A minor)
And the (G major) seagulls (C major) they'll (D major) be smil (G major) ing
And the rocks on the sand
Will (C major) proudly stand (A minor)
The (G major) hour that the ship (C major) (D major) comes (G major) in
Verse 4
And the words (E minor) that are used
For to (C major) get the ship confused
(G major) Will (E minor) not be understood (C major)
(D major) as they're spoken (G major)
For the chains of the sea
Will have (C major) busted in the night (A minor)
And will be (G major) buried at the bot
(C major) tom of the (D major) ocean (G major)
(C major) (G major)
Verse 5
(C major)
A (G major) song will lift
As the (C major) mainsail shifts
(A minor) And the (G major) boat drifts (C major) on
(D major) to the shoreline (G major)
And the sun will respect
Every (C major) face on the deck (A minor)
(G major) The hour that the ship (C major) (D major) comes (G major) in
Verse 6
Then the sands (E minor) will roll
Out (C major) a carpet of gold (G major)
For your weary (E minor) toes (C major) to (D major) be (G major) a- touchin'
And the ship's wise men
Will re (C major) mind you once again (A minor)
That the (G major) whole wide (C major) world
is (D major) watchin' (G major)
Verse 7
Oh, (G major) the foes will rise
With the (C major) sleep still in their eye (A minor) s
And they'll (G major) jerk from their bed (C major) s
and think (D major) they're dream (G major) in'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know (C major) that it's for real (A minor)
The (G major) hour when the ship (C major)
(D major) comes (G major) in
Verse 8
Then they'll raise (E minor) their hands
Sayin' we'll (C major) meet all your demand (G major) s
But we'll shout (E minor) from the bow
(C major) your (D major) days are numbered (G major)
And like Pharaoh's tribe
They'll be drownded (C major) in the tide (A minor)
And like Goliath, (G major)
(C major) they'll be (D major) conquered (G major)
