A Complete Unknown - When The Ship Comes In Cifras

[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
       G              Bm
Oh the time will come up
         Am         G
When the winds will stop
        Em          C           G
And the breeze will cease to be breathin’
         G                Bm
Like the stillness in the wind
          Am          G
’Fore the hurricane begins
    G             D          G
The hour when the ship comes in
 
 
[Bridge]
        Bm
And the seas will split
        A         G
And the ship will hit
        Em                C            G
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
         G         Bm
Then the tide will sound
        Am        G
And the wind will pound
        G       C       D C G
And the morning will be breaking
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G         Bm
A song will lift
       Am       G
As the mainsail shifts
        Em   C                G
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
        G           Bm
And the sun will respect
      Am                  G
Every face out on the deck
    G             D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
 
 
[Bridge]
         Bm
Then the sands will roll
      A         G
Out a carpet of gold
         Em     C           G
For your weary toes to be a-touchin’
        G           Bm
And the ship’s wise men
       Am             G
Will remind you once again
         G          C        D C G
That the whole wide world is watchin’

[Verse 3]
       G         Bm
Oh the foes will rise
         Am                   G
With the sleep still in their eyes
            Em              C                      G
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’
            G                    Bm
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
    Am                 G
And know that it’s for real
    G             D          G
The hour when the ship comes in
 
 
[Outro]
             Bm
Then they’ll raise their hands
             A               G
Sayin’ we’ll meet all your demands
          Em             C                 G
But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered
          G        Bm
And like Pharoah’s tribe
           Am              G
They’ll be drownded in the tide
         G        C          D C G
And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered
