Verse: 

G9                      D9          C          G9 
  Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop 
        Em7         C9          G9  
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin 
                          D9              C         G9 
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins, 
                  C9         G9  
The hour that the ship comes in 
        D9       C             G9  
And the sea will split and the ships will hit 
        D9           C                 G9 
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking 
        D9        C             G9   
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound 
        Em7     C9      D9  C  G9 
And the morning will be a-breaking 

Verse:
 
G9                   D9            C               G9  
  Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path 
        Em7      C9             G9 
And the seagulls they will be a-smilin' 
                     D9        C       G9  
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand 
                  C9         G9  
The hour that the ship comes in 
        D9             C           G9 
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused 
       D9          C            G9    
Will not be understood as they're spoken 
       D9            C             G9  
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night 
       Em7           C9            D9  C   G9 
And be buried on the bottom of the oooooocean

Verse:
 
G9            D9          C         G9 
  A song will lift as the main sail shifts 
        Em7       C9         G9  
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline 
                  D9           C           G9  
And the sun will respect every face on the deck 
                  C9         G9 
The hour that the ship comes in 
        D9         C          G9   
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold 
       D9          C        G9 
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin' 
        D9          C        G9  
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again 
         Em7         C9      D9  C    G9 
That the whole wide world is waaaaatchin'

Verse: (no chords) 

G9                 D9               C                 G9            
  Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes  
            Em7             C9                   G9 
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin' 
             D9                  C 
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal  
            G9  
And they'll know that it's for real,  
                  C9         G9 
The hour that the ship comes in 
            D9          C                   G9 
And they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all you demands 
          D9             C                  G9 
But we'll shout from the bow, Your days are numbered 
         D9        C                G9   
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide  
         Em7     C9         D9   C    G9 
And like Goliath they'll be cooooonquered
