Bob Dylan - When The Ship Comes In

bob dylan – when the ship comes in

G D C G
oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
Em C G
and the breeze will cease to be A – breathin
G D C G
like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins ,
G D G
the hour that the ship comes in
D C G
and the sea will split and the ships will hit
D C G
and the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
D C G
and the tide will sound and the waves will pound
G C C D G
and the morning will be A – breaking

G D C G
oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Em C G
and the seagulls will be A – smilin’
G D C G
and the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
G D G
the hour that the ship comes in
D C G
and the words that are used for to get the ship confused
D C G
will not be understood as they’re spoken
D C G
oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
G C C D G
and be buried on the bottom of the ocean

G D C G
a song will lift as the main sail shifts
Em C G
and the boat drifts unto the shoreline
G D C G
and the sun will respect every face on the deck
G D G
the hour that the ship comes in
D C G
and the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
D C G
for your wearied toes to be A – touchin’
D C G
and the ship’s wise men will remind you once again
G C C D G
that the whole wide world is watchin’

G D 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 D C G
but they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
G D G
and they’ll know that it’s for real ,
D C G
the hour that the ship comes in
D C G
and they’ll raise their hands , sayin’ we’ll meet all you demands
D C G
but we’ll shout from the bow , your days are numbered
D C G
and like pharoah’s tribe they’ll be drownded in the tide
G C C D G
and like goliath they’ll be conquered
