(ver. 1)
Bob Dylan
[Intro}
| G | % |


[Verse 1]
       G              Emadd9      C          G
Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
        Em          C           G
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
         G                Emadd9          C           G
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins
    G             D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
        Gmaj7                  C          G
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
         Gmaj7        C                 G
 And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
        G         Emadd9        C          G
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
         G       C    Em D    C  G     | G |
 And the morning will be brea-ea-kin'


[Verse 2]
       G           Emadd9        C               G
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        Em       C       G
And the seagulls will be smilin'
        G            Emadd9    C       G
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
    G             D          G
The hour that the ship comes in 
        Gmaj7                      C            G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
     Gmaj7       C                G
Will not be understood as they're spoken
       G             Emadd9        C             G
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
       G             C      Em     D C G     | G |
And be buried on the bottom of the o-o-cean


[Verse 3]
  G         Emadd9      C         G
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
        Em   C               G
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
        G           Emadd9     C           G
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
    G             D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
        Gmaj7                 C         G
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
         Gmaj7   C          G
For your wearied toes to be touchin'
        G           Emadd9     C              G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
         G          C     Em D  C G
That the whole wide world is wa-a-tchin'

[Verse 4]
        G        Emadd9        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                    Gmaj7
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal 
            C                  G
And they'll know that it's for real, 
    G             D          G
The hour that the ship comes in
            Gmaj7 
And they'll raise their hands 
             C               G
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
          Gmaj7          C                   G
But we'll shout from the bow: 'Your days are numbered!'
         G         Emadd9           C               G
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide 
         G       C       Em D  C  G         G
And like Goliath they'll be co-on-quered
