  29 Oh the time will come up
  30          C/e        G
  31 When the winds will stop
  32         Em          C           G
  33 And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
  34          G                Bm'
  35 Like the stillness in the wind
  36            C           G
  37 Before the hurricane begins,
  38     G             D          G
  39 The hour that the ship comes in.
  40         Bm'
  41 And the sea will split
  42         Am7       G
  43 And the ship will hit
  44         Bm'          Am7               G
  45 And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
  46          G         Bm'
  47 Then the tide will sound
  48         Am7       G
  49 And the waves will pound
  50         G       /b   /c   D /c /b-a G
  51 And the morning will be a-brea  -   king.

  66 The fishes will laugh
  67 As they swim out of the path
  68 And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
  69 And the rocks on the sand
  70 Will proudly stand,
  71 The hour that the ship comes in.
  72 And the words that are used
  73 For to get the ship confused
  74      Em          C                G
  75 Will not be understood as they're spoken.
  76 For the chains of the sea
  77 Will have busted in the night
  78        G      /b     C      /b     D  /c /b-a G
  79 And be buried at the bottom of the o    -     cean.

  83 A song will lift
  84 As the mainsail shifts
  85 And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.
  86 And the sun will respect
  87 The every face on the deck,
  88 The hour that the ship comes in.
  89 Then the sands will roll
  90 Out a carpet of gold
  91          Em    C            G
  92 For your weary toes to be a-touchin'.
  93 And the ship's wise men
  94 Will remind you once again
  95          G      /b  C     /b D  /c /b-a G
  96 That the whole wide world is wa    -    tchin'.

 100 Oh the foes will rise
 101 With the sleep still in their eyes
 102 And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
 103 But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
 104 And they'll know that it's for real,
 105 The hour that the ship comes in.
 106 Then they'll raise their hands,
 107 Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
 108 But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
 109 And like Pharaoh's tribe,
 110 They'll be drownded in the tide,
 111 And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

 118 <p>Played on the piano, in basically the same way as the guitar
 119 version. I had to tune the guitar up a little bit; he may have played
 120 it in Ab major, since he likes the black keys on the piano.</p>
