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

Verse 3
(D major) the fishes will (F sharp minor) laugh
As they (G major) swim out of the path (D major)
And the seagulls (B minor) (G major) they'll be smil (D major) ing
And the rocks on the sand (F sharp minor)
Will (G major) proudly stand (D major)
The hour that the (A major) ship comes in (D major)
Verse 4
And the words (F sharp minor) that are used
For to (G major) get the ship con (D major) fused
Will (F sharp minor) not be under (G major) stood
as they're spoken (D major)
For the chains (F sharp minor) of the sea
Will have (G major) busted in the night (D major)
And will be buried at the (G major) bot
tom of the (A major) ocean
(D major) (G major)
Verse 5
(D major)
A song will lift
(F sharp minor) As the (G major) mainsail shift (D major) s
And the boat (B minor) drifts (G major) on to the shoreline (D major)
And the sun will (F sharp minor) respect
Every (G major) face on the (D major) deck
The hour that the ship (A major) comes (D major) in
Verse 6
Then the sands (F sharp minor) will roll
Out a (G major) carpet of gold
(D major) For your weary (F sharp minor) (G major) toes to be (D major) a- touchin'
And the ship's (F sharp minor) wise men
Will re (G major) mind you once again (D major)
That the whole wide (G major) world is (A major) watchin'
Interlude 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (D major)
(B minor) (G major) (D major)
(F sharp minor) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(D major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (D major) (F sharp minor) (G major)
(D major) (F sharp minor) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 7
Oh, the (D major) foes will (F sharp minor) rise
With the (G major) sleep still in their (D major) eyes
And they'll (B minor) jerk from their (G major) beds and
think they're (D major) dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal (F sharp minor)
And (G major) know that it's for (D major) real
The hour when the ship (A major) comes (D major) in
Verse 8
Then they'll (F sharp minor) raise their hands
Sayin' we'll (G major) meet all
your de (D major) mands
But we'll shout (F sharp minor) from the bow (G major)
your days are (D major) numbered
And like (F sharp minor) Pharaoh's tribe
They'll be (G major) drownded in the tide (D major)
And like Goliath, they'll be (E minor) conquered
