Bob Dylan - When The Ship Comes In

Verse 1

O

h the time will come

up when the

winds will s

top

And the

breeze will

cease to be a-

breathin

Like the

stillness in the

wind before the

hurricane b

egins,

The ho

ur that the

ship comes

in

Verse 2

And the

sea will

split and the

ships will hit

And the

sands on the

shoreline will be

shaking

And the

tide will

sound and the

waves will pound

And the

morning

will be a

-br

eaki

ng

Verse 3

Oh the fishes will l

augh as they

swim out of the

path

And the

seagu--- lls w

ill be a-

smilin'

And the r

ocks on the

sand will

pro---udly

stand

The hou

r that the s

hip comes i

n

Verse 4

And the

words that are

used for to g

et the ship confused

Will-

not-be-under

stood as they're

spoken

Oh the

chains of the

sea will have

busted in the night

And be bu

ried on the

bottom of the

ooo-

o-

cean

Verse 5

A song will

lift as the

main sail

shifts

And the

boat drifts

unto the shore

line

And the s

un will

respect every

face on the

deck

The hou

r that the s

hip comes i

n

Verse 6

And the

sands will

rooooll-out a

carpet of gold

For your

weeeaaried

TToes to be a-

touchin'

And the

ship's wise

men will remind

you once again

That the

whole wide

world is

waa-

a-t

chin'

Verse 7

Oh the foes will

rise with the

sleep still in their

eyes

And they'll

jerk from their

beds and think they're

dreamin'

But they'

ll pinch themselves and

squeal and they'll

know that it's for

real,

The hour that the

ship comes

in

Verse 8

And they'll

raise their h

ands ,Sayin' we'l

l meet all you demands

But we'll

shout from the

bow ,Your days are

numbered

And like

Pharoah's

tribe they'll be

drownded in the tide

And like

Goliath

they'll be

coo-

o-n

quered
