When the Ship Comes In Bob Dylan
capo 3
O the [C]time will come [Em]up when the [F]wind will [C]stop,
And the [Am]breeze will [F]cease to be [C]breathin'.
Like a [C]stillness in the [Em]wind 'fore the [F]hurricane be[C]gins.
The [C]hour that the [F]ship [G]comes [C]in.
O the [Em]seas will split and the [F]ship will [C]hit,
And the [Em]sand on the [F]shoreline will be [C]shaking,
And the [C]tide will [Em]sound and the [F]waves will [C]pound,
And the [C]morning [F]will be [G]break[C]ing.[F] [C]
O the [C]fishes will [Em]laugh as they [F]swim out of the [C]path,
And the [Am]sea gulls, [F]they'll be [C]smiling.
And the [C]rocks on the [Em]sand will [F]proudly [C]stand,
The [C]hour that the [F]ship co[G]mes [C]in.
And the [Em]words that are [F]used for to [C]get the ship confused,
Will [Em]not be unders[F]tood as they're [C]spoken.
For the [C]chains of the [Em]sea will be [F]busted in the [C]night,
And be [C]buried in the [F]bottom of the [G]oce[C]an.[F] [C]
O a [C]song will [Em]lift as the [F]main sail [C]shifts,
And the [Am]boat [F]drifts on to the [C]shoreline.
And the [C]sun will [Em]respect every [F]face on the [C]deck,
The [C]hour that the [F]ship co[G]mes [C]in.
And the [Em]sand will roll out a [F]carpet of [C]gold,
For your [Em]weary [F]toes to be a-[C]touchin'.
And the [C]ship's wise [Em]men will re[F]mind you once [C]again,
That the [C]whole wide [F]world is [G]watch[C]in'[F].[C]
O the [C]foes will [Em]rise with the [F]sleep set in their [C]eyes,
And they'll [Am]jerk from their [F]beds and think they're [C]dreamin'.
But they[C]'ll pinch them[Em]selves and squeal and [F]they'll know that [C]it's for real,
The [C]hour that the [F]ship co[G]mes [C]in.
And they'll [Em]raise their hands sayin', "We'll [F]meet all you [C]demands."
But will [Em]shout from the [F]bow, "Your days are [C]numbered."
And like [C]Pharaoh's [Em]tribe they'll be [F]found in the [C]tide,
And like[C] Goliath, [F]they'll be [G]conquere[C]d.[F] [C]
