When The Ship Comes In Chords & Lyrics - Peter, Paul And Mary

[INTRO]
[F] [B] [F] [Dm] [B] [C] [F]

Oh the [F]time will come up when the [B]wind will [F]stop
And the [Dm]breeze will [B]cease to be [F]breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the [B]hurricane [F]begins
The hour that the [B]ship [C]comes [F]in.
Oh the [C]seas will split and the [B]ship will [F]hit
And the [C]sand on the [B]shoreline will be [F]shakin'
And the tide will s[C]ound and the [B]waves will [F]pound
And the mornin' [B]will [F]be [C]breaki[F]n'![B] [C] [F]

[F]Oh the fishes will laugh as they [B]swim out of the [F]path
And the [Dm]seagulls, [B]they'll be s[F]milin'
And the rocks on the sand will [B]proudly [F]stand
The hour that the [B]ship [C]comes [F]in.
And the [C]words that are used for to [B]get the ship conf[F]used
Will n[C]ot be underst[B]ood as they're sp[F]oken'
For the chains of the [C]sea will have [B]busted in the [F]night
And be buried on the [B]bottom [F]of [C]the ocea[F]n. [B] [C] [F]

[F]Oh a song will lift as the [B]mainsail s[F]hifts
And the [Dm]boat drifts [B]onto the [F]shoreline
And the sun will respect every [B]face on the [F]deck
The hour that the [B]ship [C]comes [F]in.
And the [C]sands will roll out a [B]carpet of [F]gold
For your [C]weary t[B]oes to be a [F]touchin'
And the ship's wise [C]men will rem[B]ind you once aga[F]in
That the whole wide [B]world [F]is [C]watchi[F]n'![B] [C] [F]

[F]Of the foes will rise with the [B]sleep still in their [F]eyes
And they'll j[Dm]erk from their [B]beds and think they're [F]dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll [B]know that it's for [F]real
The hour that the [B]ship [C]comes [F]in.
And they'll [C]raise their hands sayin' "W[B]e'll meet all [F]your demands"
But we'll [C]shout from the [B]bow "Your days[F] are numbered!"
And like Pharaoh's [C]tribe they'll be [B]drownded in the [F]tide
And like Goliath [B]they'll [F]be [C]conquere[F]d! [B] [C] [F]
