Verse 1
D 
You
all the time will come up
when the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathing
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sea will split
And the ships will hit
And the sands on the shoreline
will be shaking
And the tide will sound,
and the waves will pound
And the morning will be a -breaking
The fishes will laugh
as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be a -smiling
And the rocks on the sand
will proudly stand
The hour that the ships come in
And the words that I use for
to get the ships confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea
will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean
Bm 
D 
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
Bm 
G 
D 
And the boat drifts  onto the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Bm 
D 
every face on the deck
A 
D 
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sands will roll
Em 
on a carpet of gold
D 
Em 
D 
For your weary toes to be a -touchin'
On the ships a wise man
Em 
will remind you once again

For the foes will rise,
With the sleeth still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds
and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
and they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in
And they'll raise their hands,
F#m 
E 
they'll run in    all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow
F#m 
E 
your  days are numbered
And like Pharaoh's tribe
F#m 
they'll be drowned in the tide
E

B

And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
