Hollies - When The Ship Comes In INTRO: G C G Bm D G
                                   C          G                
Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop

        Em          C             G
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathing

                                         C           G
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins

    Em            C          G
The hour when the ship comes in

        Bm                      C         G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit

        Bm        C             G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking

                   Bm            C         G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound

                C       D    G
And the morning will be breaking

N.C.    G                         C               G
Oh, the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path

        Em      C           G
And the seagulls they'll be smiling

                         C             G
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand

    Em            C          G
The hour that the ship comes in

        Bm                         C               G
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused

     Bm          C                 G
Will not be understood as they are spoken

                      Bm            C             G
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night

                     C             D   G  
And be buried at the bottom of the o___cean
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G Em C G C G Em C G
        Bm                      C         G
Oh, the seas will split and the ship will hit

        Bm        C             G
And the shoreline sands will be shaking

                   Bm            C         G
Then the tide will sound and the wind will pound

                C       D    G
And the morning will be breaking

N.C. G                     C        G
A    song will lift as the mainsail shifts

        Em   C               G
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline

                               C           G 
And the sun will respect every face on the deck

    Em            C          G
The hour when the ship comes in

         Bm                    C         G 
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold

         Bm    C            G
For your weary toes to be a-touching

                    Bm         C              G
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again

                    C        D    G
That the whole wide world is watching
