from Bob Dylan;  Special Rider Music - SESAC

Intro:
F   B   F   Dm   B    C    F 

       F                          B         FOh the time will come up when the wind will stop
        Dm          B           FAnd the breeze will cease to be breathin'
                                         B         F Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
                  B    C     FThe hour that the ship comes in. 
       C                       B         FOh the seas will split and the ship will hit
        C           B                 FAnd the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
                   C            B          FAnd the tide will sound and the waves will pound
                B    F  C     F  B  C  FAnd the mornin' will be breakin'! 

F                                B               FOh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        Dm        B           FAnd the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
                               B       FAnd the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
                  B    C     FThe hour that the ship comes in. 
        C                          B                FAnd the words that are used for to get the ship confused
      C            B                FWill not be understood as they're spoken'
                      C             B             FFor the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
                     B      F  C       F  B  C  FAnd be buried on the bottom of the ocean. 

F                          B         FOh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
        Dm          B        FAnd the boat drifts onto the shoreline
                               B           F  And the sun will respect every face on the deck
                  B    C     FThe hour that the ship comes in. 
        C                     B         FAnd the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
         C      B           FFor your weary toes to be a touchin'
                    C           B               FAnd the ship's wise men will remind you once again
                    B     F  C     F  B  C  FThat the whole wide world is watchin'! 

F                              B                    FOf the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
             Dm             B                      FAnd they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
                                                    B                  FBut they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
                  B    C     FThe hour that the ship comes in. 
            C                               B             FAnd they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
          C              B                  FBut we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
                   C                B               FAnd like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
                 B       F  C       F   B  C  FAnd like Goliath they'll be conquered!
