When The Ship Comes In
Key: GEnglish
Verse
GOh the time will come Bmup when the Cwinds will stop G
And the Embreeze will Ccease to be a-Gbreathin
Like the Gstillness in the Bmwind before the Churricane beGgins,
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And the Bmsea will Csplit and the Gships will hit
And the Bmsands on the shoCreline will be Gshaking
And the Bmtide will sound and the Cwaves will Gpound
And the Gmorning will be Ca-DbreaGking
Verse
GOh the fishes will Bmlaugh as they Cswim out of Gthe path
And the Emseagulls will Cbe a-smiGlin'
And the Grocks on the Bmsand will Cproudly Gstand
The Ghour that Dthe ship comes Gin
And the Bmwords that are uCsed for to get the ship Gconfused
Will Bmnot be undersCtood as they're Gspoken
Oh the Bmchains of the sea will Chave busted in the Gnight
And be buGried on Cthe bottom Dof the oGcean
Verse
GA song Bmwill lift as the Cmain sail Gshifts
And the Emboat drifts Cunto the shoreGline
And Gthe sun will Bmrespect every Cface on the Gdeck
The Ghour that the Dship comes Gin
And the Bmsands will roll Cout a carpet of Ggold
For your Bmwearied Ctoes to be a-touGchin'
And the Bmship's wise men will reCmind you once aGgain
That the Gwhole wide Cworld Dis watGchin'
Verse
GOh the foes will rise Bmwith the sleep still Cin their eyes G
And Emthey'll jerk from their Cbeds and think they're Gdreamin'
But Gthey'll pinch BmthemCselves and Gsqueal
And Gthey'll know that Dit's for Greal,
The Bmhour that Cthe ship comes Gin
And Bmthey'll raise their hands, CSayin' we'll meet all you deGmands
But Bmwe'll shout from the bow, CYour days are numGbered
And Bmlike Pharaoh's tribe Cthey'll be drownded in Gthe tide
And like GGoliath they'll Cbe DconqueGred
