WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN
sung by Peter, Paul and Mary
from Bob Dylan; Special Rider Music - SESAC
Intro:
F B F Dm B C F
Oh the Ftime will come up when the Bwind will Fstop
And the Dmbreeze will Bcease to be Fbreathin'
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the Bhurricane Fbegins
The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.
Oh the Cseas will split and the Bship will Fhit
And the Csand on the Bshoreline will be Fshakin'
And the tide will sCound and the Bwaves will Fpound
And the mornin' Bwill Fbe CbreakiFn'!B C F
FOh the fishes will laugh as they Bswim out of the Fpath
And the Dmseagulls, Bthey'll be sFmilin'
And the rocks on the sand will Bproudly Fstand
The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.
And the Cwords that are used for to Bget the ship confFused
Will nCot be understBood as they're spFoken'
For the chains of the Csea will have Bbusted in the Fnight
And be buried on the Bbottom Fof Cthe oceaFn. B C F
FOh a song will lift as the Bmainsail sFhifts
And the Dmboat drifts Bonto the Fshoreline
And the sun will respect every Bface on the Fdeck
The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.
And the Csands will roll out a Bcarpet of Fgold
For your Cweary tBoes to be a Ftouchin'
And the ship's wise Cmen will remBind you once agaFin
That the whole wide Bworld Fis CwatchiFn'!B C F
FOf the foes will rise with the Bsleep still in their Feyes
And they'll jDmerk from their Bbeds and think they're Fdreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll Bknow that it's for Freal
The hour that the Bship Ccomes Fin.
And they'll Craise their hands sayin' "WBe'll meet all Fyour demands"
But we'll Cshout from the Bbow "Your daysF are numbered!"
And like Pharaoh's Ctribe they'll be Bdrownded in the Ftide
And like Goliath Bthey'll Fbe CconquereFd! B C F
