When the Ship Comes In Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan - When The Ship Comes In
O[G]h the time will come [D]up when the [C]winds will s[G]top
And the [Em]breeze will [C]cease to be a-[G]breathin
Like the [G]stillness in the [D]wind before the[C] hurricane b[G]egins,
The ho[G]ur that the [D]ship comes [G]in
And the [D]sea will [C]split and the[G] ships will hit
And the [D]sands on the [C]shoreline will be[G] shaking
And the[D] tide will sound and the [C]waves will [G]pound
And the [G]morning[C] will[C] be a-[D]breaki[G]ng
[G]Oh the fishes will lau[D]gh as they s[C]wim out of t[G]he path
And the [Em]seagulls wil[C]l be a-smilin'[G]
And the r[G]ocks on the sand [D]will proudly st[C]and[G]
The hou[G]r that the s[D]hip comes i[G]n
And the [D]words tha[C]t are used fo[G]r to get the ship confused
Will not [D]be understood[C] as they're spoke[G]n
Oh the [D]chains of the sea will ha[C]ve busted i[G]n the night
And be bu[G]ried on[C] the [C]bottom[D] of th[G]e ocean

[G]A song will lift as th[D]e main sail [C]shifts[G]
And the [Em]boat drifts [C]unto the shore[G]line
And the s[G]un will respect e[D]very face on th[C]e deck[G]
The hou[G]r that the s[D]hip comes i[G]n
And the [D]sands wil[C]l roll out a [G]carpet of gold
For your [D]wearied toes [C]to be a-touchin'[G]
And the[D] ship's wise men will rem[C]ind you onc[G]e again
That the [G]whole w[C]ide w[C]orld i[D]s watc[G]hin'
[G]Oh the foes will rise [D]with the sle[C]ep still in [G]their eyes
And they[Em]'ll jerk fro[C]m their beds a[G]nd think they're dreamin'
But they'[G]ll pinch themselv[D]es and squeal [C] [G]
And the[G]y'll know th[D]at it's for[G] real,
The hour[D] that the[C] ship comes i[G]n
And they'[D]ll raise thei[C]r hands ,Sayin' w[G]e'll meet all you demands
But we'[D]ll shout from the bow ,Yo[C]ur days are[G] numbered
And lik[D]e Pharoah's tribe they'll[C] be drownde[G]d in the tide
And like [G]Goliath[C] they[C]'ll be[D] conqu[G]ered
