[Intro}

[Verse 1]
Oh the Gtime will come Emadd9up when the Cwinds will Gstop
And the Embreeze will Ccease to be Gbreathin’
Like the Gstillness in the Emadd9wind before the Churricane beGgins
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And the Gmaj7sea will split and the Cships will Ghit
And the Gmaj7sands on the Cshoreline will be Gshaking
And the Gtide will Emadd9sound and the Cwaves will Gpound
G C Em D C G | G |
And the morning will be brea-ea-kin’
[Verse 2]
Oh the Gfishes will Emadd9laugh as they Cswim out of the Gpath
And the Emseagulls Cwill be Gsmilin'
And the Grocks on the Emadd9sand will Cproudly Gstand
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And the Gmaj7words that are used for to Cget the ship Gconfused
Will Gmaj7not be underCstood as they're Gspoken
Oh the Gchains of the Emadd9sea will have Cbusted in the Gnight
G C Em D C G | G |
And be buried on the bottom of the o-o-cean
[Verse 3]
A Gsong will Emadd9lift as the Cmain sail Gshifts
And the Emboat Cdrifts unto the Gshoreline
And the Gsun will resEmadd9pect every Cface on the Gdeck
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And the Gmaj7sands will roll out a Ccarpet of Ggold
For your Gmaj7wearied Ctoes to be Gtouchin'
And the Gship's wise Emadd9men will reCmind you once aGgain
That the Gwhole wide Cworld Emis Dwa-Ca-Gtchin'

[Verse 4]
Oh the fGoes will Emadd9rise with the Csleep still in their Geyes
And they'll Emjerk from their Cbeds and think they're Gdreamin'
But they'll Gpinch themselves and Gmaj7squeal
And they'll Cknow that it's for Greal,
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And they'll Gmaj7raise their hands
Sayin' we'll Cmeet all your deGmands
But we'll Gmaj7shout from the Cbow: “Your days are Gnumbered!”
And like GPharoah's Emadd9tribe they'll be Cdrownded in the Gtide
And like GGoliath Cthey'll Embe Dco-Con-Gquered G
