Bob Dylan - When The Ship Comes In
G D C G
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
Em C G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
G D C G
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
G D G
The hour that the ship comes in
D C G
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
D C G
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
D C G
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
G C C D G
And the morning will be a-breaking
G D C G
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Em C G
And the seagulls will be a-smilin'
G D C G
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
G D G
The hour that the ship comes in
D C G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
D C G
Will not be understood as they're spoken
D C G
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
G C C D G
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean
G D C G
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
Em C G
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
G D C G
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
G D G
The hour that the ship comes in
D C G
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
D C G
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
D C G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
G C C D G
That the whole wide world is watchin'
G D C G
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
Em C G
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
G D C G
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
G D G
And they'll know that it's for real,
D C G
The hour that the ship comes in
D C G
And they'll raise their hands ,Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
D C G
But we'll shout from the bow ,Your days are numbered
D C G
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
G C C D G
And like Goliath they'll be conquered
