Intro:
F5   B5   F5   D5   B5    C5    F5 

       F5                          B5         F5
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
        D5          B5           F5
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
                                         B5         F5 
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
                  B5    C5     F5
The hour that the ship comes in. 
       C5                       B5         F5
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
        C5           B5                 F5
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
                   C5            B5          F5
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
                B5    F5  C5     F5  B5  C5  F5
And the mornin' will be breakin'! 

F5                                B5               F5
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        D5        B5           F5
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
                               B5       F5
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
                  B5    C5     F5
The hour that the ship comes in. 
        C5                          B5                F5
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
      C5            B5                F5
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
                      C5             B5             F5
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
                     B5      F5  C5       F5  B5  C5  F5
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean. 

F5                          B5         F5
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
        D5          B5        F5
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
                               B5           F5  
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
                  B5    C5     F5
The hour that the ship comes in. 
        C5                     B5         F5
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
         C5      B5           F5
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
                    C5           B5               F5
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
                    B5     F5  C5     F5  B5  C5  F5
That the whole wide world is watchin'! 

F5                              B5                    F5
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
             D5             B5                      F5
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
                                                    B5                  F5
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
                  B5    C5     F5
The hour that the ship comes in. 
            C5                               B5             F5
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
          C5              B5                  F5
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
                   C5                B5               F5
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
                 B5       F5  C5       F5   B5  C5  F5
And like Goliath they'll be conquered!
