Verse:
G9           D9     C     G9
 Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
    Em7     C9     G9
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
             D9       C     G9
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
         C9     G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9    C       G9
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
    D9      C         G9
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
    D9    C       G9
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
    Em7   C9   D9 C G9
And the morning will be a-breaking

Verse:
G9          D9      C        G9
 Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
    Em7   C9       G9
And the seagulls they will be a-smilin'
           D9    C    G9
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
         C9     G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9       C      G9
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
    D9     C      G9
Will not be understood as they're spoken
    D9      C       G9
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
    Em7      C9      D9 C  G9
And be buried on the bottom of the oooooocean

Break:
G9   C9 G9

Verse:
G9      D9     C     G9
 A song will lift as the main sail shifts
    Em7    C9     G9
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
         D9      C      G9
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
         C9     G9
The hour that the ship comes in
    D9     C     G9
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
    D9     C    G9
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
    D9     C    G9
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
     Em7     C9   D9 C  G9
That the whole wide world is waaaaatchin'

Verse: (no chords)
G9         D9        C         G9
 Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
      Em7       C9          G9
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
       D9         C
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
      G9
And they'll know that it's for real,
         C9     G9
The hour that the ship comes in
      D9     C          G9
And they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
     D9       C         G9
But we'll shout from the bow, Your days are numbered
     D9    C        G9
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
     Em7   C9     D9  C  G9
And like Goliath they'll be cooooonquered

End:
G9
D9 C G9
C9 G9
