    • Verse 1
    Oh 
    the time 
    will 
    come 
    up 

    When 
    the winds 
    will 
    stop 

    And 
    the breeze 
    will 

    cease 
    to be 
    breath
    in' 

    Like 
    the stillness 
    in 
    the wind 

    Before 
    the hurricane 
    begin
    s 

    The 
    hour 
    when 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    the seas 
    will 
    split 

    And 
    the ship 
    will 
    hit 
    and 

    the sands 
    on the 

    Shoreline 
    will 
    be shakin' 

    And 
    the tide 
    will 
    sound 

    And 
    the wind
    s 
    will 
    pound 

    And 
    the morning 
    will 
    be 
    a-breakin' 

    Oh 
    Oh 
    the fishes 
    will 
    laugh 

    As 
    they swim 
    out 
    of 
    the path 

    And 
    the seagulls 
    they'll 
    be 
    smil
    in' 

    And 
    the rocks 
    on 
    the sand 

    will 
    proudly 
    stand 

    The 
    hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Verse 3
    And 
    the 
    words 
    that 
    are used 

    For 
    to get 
    the ship 
    con
    fused 

    Will 
    not 
    be 
    under
    stood 

    as 
    they 
    are spoken 

    For 
    the chains 
    of the 
    sea 

    Will 
    have bus
    ted 
    in 
    the night 

    And 
    be 
    buried 
    at 
    the bottom 

    of 
    the 
    ocean 

    Verse 4

    A song 
    will 
    lift 
    as 
    the mainsail 
    shift
    s 

    And 
    the boat 
    drifts 
    out 
    onto 
    the shoreline 

    And 
    the sun 
    will 
    respect 

    Every 
    face 
    on 
    the deck

    The 
    hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Verse 5
    And 
    the sands 
    will 
    roll 
    out 
    a 
    carpet 
    of gold 

    For 
    your 
    weary 
    toes 
    to be 
    a-touchin' 

    And 
    And 
    the ship's 
    wise 
    men 

    Will 
    re
    mind 
    you once 
    again 

    That 
    the 
    whole 
    wide 
    world 
    is 
    watch

    Interlude 1
    in' 




    Verse 6
    Oh 
    the 
    foes 
    will 
    rise 

    With 
    the sleep 
    still 
    in their 
    eye
    s 

    And 
    they'll 
    jerk 
    from their 
    bed
    s 

    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 

    Verse 7
    And 
    they'll 
    raise 
    their 
    hands 

    Sayin' 
    "We'll meet 

    all your 
    demand
    s" 

    But 
    we'll shout 
    from 
    the 
    bow 

    "Your 
    days 
    are numbered" 

    And 
    like 
    the 
    pharaoh's 
    tribe 

    They'll 
    be drownded 
    in 
    the tide 

    Like 
    Goliath 
    they'll 
    be 
    conquered

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
