Verse 1
(G major) Oh, the time will come
when (C major) the winds will stop
(G major) And the breeze (E minor) will
cease (C major) to be breath (G major) in'
Like the stillness in the wind before
the hurricane (C major) begin (G major) s
The hour when the ship (D major) comes (G major) in
Verse 2
Oh, the seas (B minor) will split and the ship (C major) will hit (G major)
And the sands (E minor) on the
shoreline (C major) will be shakin' (G major)
And the tide will sound and
the wind (C major) s will pound (G major)
And the morning (C major) will (G major) be (D major) a- breakin'
(G major)

Verse 3
Oh, the fishes will laugh as
they swim (C major) out of the path (G major)
And the seagulls, (E minor) (C major) they'll be smil (G major) in'
And the rocks on the sand
will (C major) proudly stand (G major)
The hour that the ship (D major) comes (G major) in
Verse 4
And the (B minor) words that are used
For to get (C major) the ship confused (G major)
Will (E minor) not be understood (C major)
as they are spoken (G major)
For the chains of the sea (D major)
Will have bus (C major) ted in the night (G major)
And be buried at the bottom (C major)
(D major) of the ocean
(G major)
Verse 5
A song will (D major) lift (G major) as the mainsail (C major) shift (G major) s
And the boat (E minor) drifts (C major) out onto the shoreline (G major)
And the sun will respect (D major) every
face (C major) on the deck (G major)
The hour (D major) that the ship comes (G major) in
Verse 6
And the sands (B minor) will roll out a (C major) carpet of gold (G major)
For your (E minor) weary toes (C major) to be a- touchin' (G major)
And the ship's wise (D major) men will
remind (C major) you once again (G major)
That the whole wide (C major) world (D major) is watch

Verse 7
Oh, the (G major) foes will rise with
the sleep (C major) still in their eye (G major) s
And they'll (E minor) jerk from their bed (C major)
s and think they're (G major) dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and (D major) squeal
And they'll know (C major) that it's for real (G major)
The hour (D major) when the ship comes (G major) in
Verse 8
And they'll (B minor) raise their hands
Sayin', "We'll meet (C major)
all your demand (G major) s"
But we'll shout (E minor) from the bow (C major)
"Your days are numbered" (G major)
And like pharaoh's triumph
(D major) they'll be drownded (C major) in the tide
(G major) Like Goliath (C major) they'll (D major) be conquered
