When The Ship Comes In Cifras

Bob Dylan - When The Ship Comes In
 
[Verse 1]
 G                    D           C           G
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
        Em          C             G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
         G                D              C           G
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
       G           D          G
 The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Verse 2]
        D        C            G
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
         D            C                G
 And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
       D          C             G
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
         G      C         D  C   G
 And the morning will be a-breaking
 
[Verse 3]
G                   D            C               G
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        Em            C        G
And the seagu--- lls will be a-smilin'
         G           D         C          G
And the rocks on the sand will pro---udly stand
       G           D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Verse 4]
        D              C            G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
     D           C                G
Will-not-be-understood as they're spoken
       D             C             G
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
         G           C             D   C G
And be buried on the bottom of the ooo-o-cean
 
[Verse 5]
G           D           C         G
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
        Em          C             G
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
         G       D             C           G
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
       G           D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Verse 6]
        D          C            G
And the sands will rooooll-out a carpet of gold
         D          C             G
For your weeeaaried TToes to be a-touchin'
       D            C               G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
         G          C        D   C  G
That the whole wide world is waa-a-tchin'
 
[Verse 7]
G                D             C                    G
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
            Em             C                       G
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
         G                       D                  C                  G
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real,
                  D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Verse 8]
            D            C                G
And they'll raise their hands ,Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
          D              C                  G
But we'll shout from the bow ,Your days are numbered
         D         C                G
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
         G       C          D   C  G
And like Goliath they'll be coo-o-nquered
