Peter, Paul and Mary – When The Ship Comes In (Ukulele)

       F                          B         F
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop

        Dm          B           F
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'

                                         B         F 
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins

                  B    C     F
The hour that the ship comes in. 

       C                       B         F
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit

        C           B                 F
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'

                   C            B          F
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound

                B    F  C     F  B  C  F
And the mornin' will be breakin'! 

F                                B               F
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path

        Dm        B           F
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'

                               B       F
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand

                  B    C     F
The hour that the ship comes in. 

        C                          B                F
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused

      C            B                F
Will not be understood as they're spoken'

                      C             B             F
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night

                     B      F  C       F  B  C  F
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean. 

F                          B         F
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts

        Dm          B        F
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline

                               B           F  
And the sun will respect every face on the deck

                  B    C     F
The hour that the ship comes in. 

        C                     B         F
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold

         C      B           F
For your weary toes to be a touchin'

                    C           B               F
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again

                    B     F  C     F  B  C  F
That the whole wide world is watchin'! 

F                              B                    F
Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes

             Dm             B                      F
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'

                                                    B                  F
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real

                  B    C     F
The hour that the ship comes in. 

            C                               B             F
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"

          C              B                  F
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"

                   C                B               F
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide

                 B       F  C       F   B  C  F
And like Goliath they'll be conquered!
