When The Ship Comes In Chords

When the ship comes in - Peter, Paul, and Mary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObrbC1ccOv0
 
Paul plays this capo 5 in C while Peter plays along on capo 1 in E to add depth (All keys relative to capo)
Also, it can easily be played capo 3 if you prefer to play it in the key of D
 
Paul plays a G/F, but you can move the F to the high e and play a G7 instead (good for some transpositions)
 
Additionally, if playing Capo 3, swap the D chords for D/F# for slightly beter voicing
 
 
 
Capo 5
 
[Intro]
C   Cmaj7   F   C   Am   F   C
 
[Verse]
       C              Cmaj7       F         C
Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop
        Am          F           C
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
                          Cmaj7          F         C
Like the stillness in the wind 'fore the hurricane begins
                  F          C
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Chorus]
       Em                      F         C
Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit
        Em          F                 C
And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin'
                  Em            F          C
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
                F       G G/F C  F   C
And the mornin' will be break-in'!
 
[Verse]
C                  Cmaj7         F               C
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
        Am        F          C
And the seagulls, they'll be smilin'
                     Cmaj7     F       C
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
                  F          C
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Chorus]
        Em                         F               C
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
     Em          F                C
Will not be understood as they're spoken'
                      Em            F             C
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
                     F             G G/F C  F   C
And be buried on the bottom of the oce--an!
 
[Verse]
C              Cmaj7       F        C
Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts
        Am          F        C
And the boat drifts onto the shoreline
                 Cmaj7         F           C
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
                  F          C
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Chorus]
        Em                    F         C
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
         Em    F            C
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
                    Em       F               C
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
                    F        G G/F C  F   C
That the whole wide world is watch-in'!
 
[Verse]
C                Cmaj7         F                    C
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
            Am              F                      C
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
                                 Cmaj7              F                  C
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
                  F          C
The hour that the ship comes in
 
[Chorus]
            Em                              F             C
And they'll raise their hands sayin' "We'll meet all your demands"
          Em             F                  C
But we'll shout from the bow "Your days are numbered!"
                   Em               F               C
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
                 F          G G/F C     F   C
And like Goliath they'll be con---quered!
