When The Ship Comes In Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F B F Dm B C F

 Oh the Ftime will come up when the Bwind will Fstop

 And the Dmbreeze will Bcease to be Fbreathin'

 Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the Bhurricane Fbegins

 The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

 Oh the Cseas will split and the Bship will Fhit

 And the Csand on the Bshoreline will be Fshakin'

 And the tide will sCound and the Bwaves will Fpound

 And the mornin' Bwill Fbe CbreakiFn'!B C F

FOh the fishes will laugh as they Bswim out of the Fpath

 And the Dmseagulls, Bthey'll be sFmilin'

 And the rocks on the sand will Bproudly Fstand

 The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

 And the Cwords that are used for to Bget the ship confFused

 Will nCot be understBood as they're spFoken'

 For the chains of the Csea will have Bbusted in the Fnight

 And be buried on the Bbottom Fof Cthe oceaFn. B C F

FOh a song will lift as the Bmainsail sFhifts

 And the Dmboat drifts Bonto the Fshoreline

 And the sun will respect every Bface on the Fdeck

 The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

 And the Csands will roll out a Bcarpet of Fgold

 For your Cweary tBoes to be a Ftouchin'

 And the ship's wise Cmen will remBind you once agaFin

 That the whole wide Bworld Fis CwatchiFn'!B C F

FOf the foes will rise with the Bsleep still in their Feyes

 And they'll jDmerk from their Bbeds and think they're Fdreamin'

 But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll Bknow that it's for Freal

 The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.

 And they'll Craise their hands sayin' "We'll Bmeet all your Fdemands"

 But we'll Cshout from the Bbow "Your days are Fnumbered!"

 And like Pharaoh's Ctribe they'll be Bdrownded in the Ftide

 And like Goliath Bthey'll Fbe CconquereFd! B C F
