D 
F#m 
Oh, the time will  come up
G 
D 
When the winds will stop

Before the hurricane begins

Verse 3

F#m

the fishes will laugh

As they swim out of the path

And the seagulls they'll be smiling

F#m

And the rocks on the sand

Will proudly stand

The hour that the ship comes in

Verse 4
F#m 
And the words that are used
G 
D 
For to get the ship confused
F#m 
G 
Will not   be understood
D 
as they're spoken
F#m 
For the chains of the sea
G 
D 
Will have busted in the night
G 
And will be buried at the bot
A 
tom of the ocean
D 
G 

Verse 5
D 
A song will lift
F#m 
G 
D 
As    the mainsail shifts
Bm 
G 
D 
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
F#m 
And the sun will respect
G 
D 
Every face on the deck
A 
D 
The hour that the ship comes in

Verse 6
F#m 
Then the sands will roll
G 
Out a carpet of gold
D 
F#m 
G 
D 
For your weary toes to be a- touchin'
F#m 
And the ship's wise men
G 
D 
Will remind you once again
G 
A 
That the whole wide world is watchin'

Verse 7
D 
F#m 
Oh, the foes will rise
G 
D 
With the sleep still in their eyes
Bm 
G 
And they'll jerk from their beds and
D 
think they're dreamin'
F#m 
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
G 
D 
And know that it's for real
A 
D 
The hour when the ship comes in

Verse 8
F#m 
Then they'll raise their hands
G 
Sayin' we'll meet all
D 
your demands
F#m 
G 
But we'll shout from the bow
D 
your days are numbered
F#m 
And like Pharaoh's tribe
G 
D 
They'll be drownded in the tide
Em 
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
