Capo: 3
When The Ship Comes In
By Bob Dylan
capo 3
O the Ctime will come Emup when the Fwind will Cstop,
And the Ambreeze will Fcease to be Cbreathin'.
Like a Cstillness in the Emwind 'fore the Fhurricane beCgins.
The Chour that the Fship Gcomes Cin.
O the Emseas will split and the Fship will Chit,
And the Emsand on the Fshoreline will be Cshaking,
And the Ctide will Emsound and the Fwaves will Cpound,
And the Cmorning Fwill be GbreakCing.F C
O the Cfishes will Emlaugh as they Fswim out of the Cpath,
And the Amsea gulls, Fthey'll be Csmiling.
And the Crocks on the Emsand will Fproudly Cstand,
The Chour that the Fship coGmes Cin.
And the Emwords that are Fused for to Cget the ship confused,
Will Emnot be undersFtood as they're Cspoken.
For the Cchains of the Emsea will be Fbusted in the Cnight,
And be Cburied in the Fbottom of the GoceCan. F C
O a Csong will Emlift as the Fmain sail Cshifts,
And the Amboat Fdrifts on to the Cshoreline.
And the Csun will Emrespect every Fface on the Cdeck,
The Chour that the Fship coGmes Cin.
And the Emsand will roll out a Fcarpet of Cgold,
For your Emweary Ftoes to be a-Ctouchin'.
And the Cship's wise Emmen will reFmind you once Cagain,
That the Cwhole wide Fworld is GwatchCin'F. C
O the Cfoes will Emrise with the Fsleep set in their Ceyes,
And they'll Amjerk from their Fbeds and think they're Cdreamin'.
But theyC'll pinch themEmselves and squeal and Fthey'll know that Cit's for real,
The Chour that the Fship coGmes Cin.
And they'll Emraise their hands sayin', "We'll Fmeet all you Cdemands."
But will Emshout from the Fbow, "Your days are Cnumbered."
And like CPharaoh's Emtribe they'll be Ffound in the Ctide,
And likeC Goliath, Fthey'll be GconquereCd.F C
