When the Ship Comes In Bob Dylan
When My Ship Comes In - B. Dylan
Oh the [D]time will co[F#m]me up
When the[G] winds will[D] stop
And the b[Bm]reeze wil[G]l cease to [D]be breathin'.
Like the s[D]tillness in t[F#m]he wind
Before the[G] hurricane be[D]gins,
The[D] hour that th[A]e ship co[D]mes in.
And the s[F#m]ea will split And the[G] ship w[D]ill hit
And the [F#m]sands on th[G]e shoreline will[D] be shaking.
Then the [D]tide will[F#m] sound
And the [G]waves will[D] pound
And the [D]mornin[G]g will b[A]e a-brea [D] --- king.
Oh the f[D]ishes wi[F#m]ll laugh as t[G]hey swim out o[D]f the path
And the [Bm]seagulls[G] will[D] be a-smilin'
And the [D]rocks on th[F#m]e sand w[G]ill proudly [D]stand
The h[D]our that the [A]ship co[D]mes in.
And the w[F#m]ords that are used for to [G]get the ship [D]confused
Will not [F#m]be un[G]derstood as they'[D]re spoken
Oh the [D]chains of t[F#m]he sea will [G]have busted [D]in the night
And be [D]buried on the[G] bottom of [A]the o[D] --- cean
D F#m' G D
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the [Bm]boat drift[G]s unto [D]the shoreline
And the [D]sun will [F#m]respect eve[G]ry face on[D] the deck\
The hour that the [A]ship come[D]s in.
And the [F#m]sands will roll out [G]a carpet[D] of gold
For your [F#m]wearie[G]d toes to be[D] a-touchin'
And the ship's wise m[F#m]en will[G] remind you on[D]ce again
That the[D] whole wide[G] world [A]is [D]wa----tchin'
Oh the [D]foes wi[F#m]ll rise with [G]the sleep still in t[D]heir eyes
And they'll [Bm]jerk from thei[G]r beds and think they[D]'re dreamin'
But they'll [D]pinch themselves an[F#m]d squeal
And they'll [G]know that it's fo[D]r real,
The [D]hour that th[A]e ship co[D]mes in.
And they'll r[F#m]aise their hands
Sayin' we'll [G]meet all your d[D]emands
But we'll [F#m]shout from th[G]e bow Your days a[D]re numbered
And like Pha[D]roah's[F#m] tribe they'll [G]be drowned in[D] the tide
And like G[D]oliath[G] they'll[A] be c[D]on---quered
