When The Ship Comes In Chords

(ver. 4)
Bob Dylan
When My Ship Comes In - B. Dylan
       D           F#m
Oh the time will come up
        G          D
When the winds will stop
         Bm       G          D
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
          D            F#m 
Like the stillness in the wind
          G            D
Before the hurricane begins,
   D            A        D
The hour that the ship comes in.
         F#m                  G      D
And the sea will split And the ship will hit
        F#m        G               D  
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
         D        F#m
Then the tide will sound 
        G         D
And the waves will pound
        D     G       A        D
And the morning will be a-brea  --- king.

        D       F#m          G             D
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        Bm      G    D
And the seagulls will be a-smilin'
        D          F#m     G           D
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
     D            A      D
The hour that the ship comes in.
         F#m                       G            D
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
         F#m  G                D
Will not be understood as they're spoken
       D          F#m         G           D
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
       D            G          A    D
And be buried on the bottom of the o ---  cean

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

       D      F#m          G                   D
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes 
            Bm            G                    D
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
            D                  F#m
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal 
            G                D
And they'll know that it's for real, 
    D           A        D
The hour that the ship comes in.
             F#m
And they'll raise their hands 
             G              D
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
          F#m          G                D
But we'll shout from the bow Your days are numbered
            D     F#m            G            D
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drowned in the tide 
          D     G       A    D
And like Goliath they'll be con---quered
