  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.
  52
  53 The fishes will laugh
  54 As they swim out of the path
  55 And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
  56 And the rocks on the sand
  57 Will proudly stand,
  58 The hour that the ship comes in.
  59 And the words that are used
  60 For to get the ship confused
  61      Em          C                G
  62 Will not be understood as they're spoken.
  63 For the chains of the sea
  64 Will have busted in the night
  65        G      /b     C      /b     D  /c /b-a G
  66 And be buried at the bottom of the o    -     cean.
  67
  68 A song will lift
  69 As the mainsail shifts
  70 And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.
  71 And the sun will respect
  72 The every face on the deck,
  73 The hour that the ship comes in.
  74 Then the sands will roll
  75 Out a carpet of gold
  76          Em    C            G
  77 For your weary toes to be a-touchin'.
  78 And the ship's wise men
  79 Will remind you once again
  80          G      /b  C     /b D  /c /b-a G
  81 That the whole wide world is wa    -    tchin'.
  82
  83 Oh the foes will rise
  84 With the sleep still in their eyes
  85 And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
  86 But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
  87 And they'll know that it's for real,
  88 The hour that the ship comes in.
  89 Then they'll raise their hands,
  90 Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
  91 But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
  92 And like Pharaoh's tribe,
  93 They'll be drownded in the tide,
  94 And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

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