i needed to sing in a step down from the versions i saw in G.

the F#m is played with the B and e strings open.

there are a few walk-ups and downs on the last line of each verse, that you can fit in with a little practice.

this is my first submission, hope it works for you.

When The Ship Comes In – B. Dylan

Oh the

time will come

When the

winds will

stop

And the

breeze will

cease to be

breathin'.

Like the

stillness in the

wind

Before the

hurricane be

gins,

The

hour that the

ship comes

in.

And the

sea will split And the

ship will

hit

And the

sands on the

shoreline will be

shaking.

Then the

tide will

sound

And the

waves will

pound

And the

morning

will be a-

brea ---

king.

Oh the

fishes will

laugh as they

swim out of the

path

And the

seagulls

will be a-

smilin'

And the

rocks on the

sand will

proudly

stand

The

hour that the

ship comes

in.

And the

words that are used for to

get the ship con

fused

Will

not be under

stood as they're

spoken

Oh the

chains of the

sea will have

busted in the

night

And be

buried on the

bottom of the

o ---

cean

song will

lift as the

main sail

shifts

And the

boat drifts un

to the

shoreline

And the

sun will

respect every

face on the

deck

The

hour that the

ship comes

in.

And the

sands will roll out a

carpet of

gold

For your

wearied

toes to be a-

touchin'

And the ship's wise

men will re

mind you once

again

That the

whole wide

world is

wa----

tchin'

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.

And they'll

raise their hands

Sayin' we'll

meet all your de

mands

But we'll

shout from the

bow Your days are

numbered

And like

Pharoah's

tribe they'll be

drowned in the

tide

And like

Goliath

they'll be

con---

quered
