                                   C          G                 
Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop 
        Em          C             G 
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathing 
                                         C           G 
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins 
    Em            C          G 
The hour when the ship comes in 


        Bm                      C         G 
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit 
        Bm        C             G 
And the shoreline sands will be shaking 
                   Bm            C         G 
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound 
                C       D    G 
And the morning will be breaking 


        G                         C               G 
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path 
        Em      C           G 
And the seagulls they'll be smiling 
                         C             G 
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand 
    Em            C          G 
The hour that the ship comes in 


        Bm                         C               G 
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused 
     Bm          C                 G 
Will not be understood as they are spoken 
                      Bm            C             G 
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night 
                     C             D   G   
And be buried at the bottom of the o___cean 


Instrumental: G    C  G  Em  C  G    C  G  Em  C  G 


        Bm                      C         G 
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit 
        Bm        C             G 
And the shoreline sands will be shaking 
                   Bm            C         G 
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound 
                C       D    G 
And the morning will be breaking 


    G                     C        G 
A    song will lift as the mainsail shifts 
        Em   C               G 
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline 
                               C           G  
And the sun will respect every face on the deck 
    Em            C          G 
The hour when the ship comes in 


         Bm                    C         G  
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold 
         Bm    C            G 
For your weary toes to be a-touching 
                    Bm         C              G 
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again 
                    C        D    G 
That the whole wide world is watching
