When The Ship Comes In
Bob Dylan
Key : G
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
G           G            Bmadd11
 Oh the time will come up
         Am7   C    G
When the winds will stop
              Em     C               G
And the breeze  will cease to be breathin'
         G                Bmadd11
Like the stillness in the wind   
          Am7  C          G
'Fore the hurricane begins
                   D          G
The hours when the ship comes in.
            Bmadd11
And the seas       will split

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        Am7  C    G
And the ship will hit
             Bmadd11            Am7             G
And the sands       on the shoreline will be shaking
                   Bmadd11
Then the tide will sound  
        Am7  C    G
And the wind will pound
                        D    C G
And the morning will be brea _king.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         G         Bmadd11
Oh the fishes will laugh  
        Am7      C          G
As they swim out of the path
           Em    C             G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
        G                Bmadd11
And the rocks on the sand
     Am7  C       G
Will proudly stand
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
             Bmadd11
And the words       that are used
       Am7         C   G
For to get the ship confused
     Em               C              G
Will not be understood as they're spoken
                      Bmadd11
For the chains of the sea    
          Am7      C         G
Will have busted in the night
                                        D C G
And will be buried at the bottom of the o _cean.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      G     Bmadd11
A song will lift   
       Am7 C    G
As the mainsail shifts
            Em       C              G
And the boat  drifts on to the shoreline
        G           Bmadd11
And the sun will respect   
      Am7  C          G
Every face on the deck
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in.
              Bmadd11
Then the sands       will roll

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
      Am7 C         G
Out a carpet of gold
            Em C              G
For your weary toes to be atouchin'
                    Bmadd11
And the ship's wise men    
       Am7      C         G
Will remind you once again
                             D   C G
That the whole wide world is wat _chin'.

[Interlude]
---------------------
G       | Bmadd11 | Am7 | C | G       | Em  | C | G 
G       | Bmadd11 | Am7 | C | G       | D   | G 
Bmadd11 | Am7     | C   | G | Bmadd11 | Am7 | G 
Bmadd11 | Am7     | C   | G | D       | D7  
D6      | D       | G   
           G     Bmadd11
Oh the foes will rise   

[Verse 4]
---------------------
         Am7   C            G
With the sleep in their eyes
                Em           C                          G
And they'll jerk  from their beds and think they're dreamin'
                 G               Bmadd11
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal 
    Am7       C            G
And know that it's for real
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in.
                  Bmadd11
Then they'll raise       their hands

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
             Am7      C           G
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
               Em            C              G
But we'll shout  from the bow your days are numbered
                   Bmadd11
And like Pharaoh's tribe  
           Am7      C          G
They'll be drownded in the tide
                             D   C G
And like Goliath, they'll be con _quered.
