When the Ship Comes In Bob Dylan
from the album The Times They Are A-Changin'
Chords: F G11? (x54030) F Am F/E G/D G
FOh the time will come G11up when the Fwinds will sFtop
And the Ambreeze will Fcease to be a-Fbreathin
Like the Fstillness in the G11wind before the Fhurricane beFgins,
The hoFur that the Gship comes Fin
And the G11sea will sFplit and the Fships will hit
And the G11sands on the sFhoreline will be Fshaking
And theG11 tide will sound and the Fwaves will Fpound
And the FmorningF willF/E be a-G/DbreakFing
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls will be a-smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real,
The hour that the ship comes in
And they'll raise their hands
Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
But we'll shout from the bow
Your days are numbered
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath they'll be conquered
