When the Ship Comes In Bob Dylan
[Intro}
| G | % |
[Verse 1]
Oh the [G]time will come [Em/F#]up when the [C]winds will [G]stop
And the [Em]breeze will [C]cease to be [G]breathin'
Like the [G]stillness in the [Em/F#]wind before the [C]hurricane be[G]gins
The [G]hour that the [D]ship comes [G]in
And the [Em7/F#]sea will split and the [C]ships will [G]hit
And the [Em7/F#]sands on the [C]shoreline will be [G]shaking
And the [G]tide will [Em/F#]sound and the [C/E]waves will [G]pound
G C Em/B D C G | G |
And the morning will be brea-ea-kin'
[Verse 2]
Oh the [G]fishes will [Em/F#]laugh as they [C]swim out of the [G]path
And the [Em]seagulls [C]will be [G]smilin'
And the [G]rocks on the [Em/F#]sand will [C]proudly [G]stand
The [G]hour that the [D]ship comes [G]in
And the [Em7/F#]words that are used for to [C]get the ship [G]confused
Will [Em7/F#]not be under[C]stood as they're [G]spoken
Oh the [G]chains of the [Em/F#]sea will have [C]busted in the [G]night
G C Em/B D C G | G |
And be buried on the bottom of the o-o-cean
[Verse 3]
A [G]song will [Em/F#]lift as the [C]main sail [G]shifts
And the [Em]boat [C]drifts unto the [G]shoreline
And the [G]sun will res[Em/F#]pect every [C]face on the [G]deck
The [G]hour that the [D]ship comes [G]in
And the [Em7/F#]sands will roll out a [C]carpet of [G]gold
For your [Em7/F#]wearied [C]toes to be [G]touchin'
And the [G]ship's wise [Em/F#]men will re[C]mind you once a[G]gain
That the [G]whole wide [C]world [Em/B]is [D]wa-[C]a-[G]tchin'
[Solo]

[Verse 4]
Oh the f[G]oes will [Em/F#]rise with the [C]sleep still in their [G]eyes
And they'll [Em]jerk from their [C]beds and think they're [G]dreamin'
But they'll [G]pinch themselves and [Em/F#]squeal
And they'll [C]know that it's for [G]real,
The [G]hour that the [D]ship comes [G]in
And they'll [Em7/F#]raise their hands
Sayin' we'll [C]meet all your de[G]mands
But we'll [Em7/F#]shout from the [C]bow: 'Your days are [G]numbered!'
And like [G]Pharoah's [Em/F#]tribe they'll be [C]drownded in the [G]tide
And like [G]Goliath [C]they'll [Em/B]be [D]co-[C]on-[G]quered[G]
