When the Ship Comes In The Hollies
INTRO: G C G Bm D G
Oh, the time will come up when the [C]winds will [G]stop
And the [Em]breeze will [C]cease to be a-[G]breathing
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the [C]hurricane be[G]gins
The [Em]hour when the [C]ship comes [G]in
Oh, the [Bm]seas will split and the [C]ship will [G]hit
And the [Bm]shoreline [C]sands will be [G]shaking
Then the tide will [Bm]sound and the [C]wind will [G]pound
And the morning [C]will be [D]break[G]ing
N.C. G C G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the [Em]seagulls[C] they'll be [G]smiling
And the rocks on the sand[C] will proudly [G]stand
The [Em]hour that the [C]ship comes [G]in
And the [Bm]words that are used for to [C]get the ship con[G]fused
Will [Bm]not be under[C]stood as they are [G]spoken
For the chains of the [Bm]sea will have [C]busted in the [G]night
And be buried at the [C]bottom of the [D]o___[G]cean
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G Em C G C G Em C G
Oh, the [Bm]seas will split and the [C]ship will [G]hit
And the [Bm]shoreline [C]sands will be [G]shaking
Then the tide will [Bm]sound and the [C]wind will [G]pound
And the morning [C]will be [D]break[G]ing
N.C. G C G
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And the [Em]boat [C]drifts onto the [G]shoreline
And the sun will respect every [C]face on the [G]deck
The [Em]hour when the [C]ship comes [G]in
Then the [Bm]sands will roll out a [C]carpet of [G]gold
For your [Bm]weary [C]toes to be a-[G]touching
And the ship's wise [Bm]men will re[C]mind you once a[G]gain
That the whole wide [C]world is [D]watch[G]ing
