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

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