15 Mar 03 - 10:54 AM (#910670) Subject: When The Ship Comes In From: John Hardly Here's a cool way to put some spark in this old Dylan strummer. WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN (Bob Dylan) tuning: DADGBE 000(11)(10)(10)///,0009(10)9///,000787///,000775///,000675///,000453///,X02030///,X02020,{X0XXXX,X2XXXX,X4XXXX,XX0XXX<< And the X24432 breeze will 555433 cease to be 000232 breathing 000030,000232 Like a stillness in the 040222 wind 'fore the 555433 hurricane 000232 begins The hour that the 555433 ship X03330 comes in.000030,000232 Then the 040222 sea will split and the 555433 ship will 000232 hit And the 040222 sands on the 555433 shore line will be 000232 shaking Then the 000(11)(10)(10)tide will 0009(10)9 sound and the 000787 waves will 000775 pound And the 000675 morning 000453 will be X02030 break-X02020,000232-ing. 000433,000232,000030,000232 O the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smiling And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand, the hour... And the words that are used for to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they are spoken For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night And be buried at the bottom of the ocean. A song will lift as the mainsail shifts And the boat drifts on to the shoreline And the sun will respect every face on the deck, the hour... Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touching And the ship's wise men will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watching. Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreaming But they'll pinch themselves and squeal As they know that it's for real, the hour... Then they'll raise their hands saying we'll meet all your demands But we'll shout from the bow, your days are numbered And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drowned in the tide And like Goliath they'll be conquered. |

15 Mar 03 - 03:51 PM (#910841) Subject: RE: When The Ship Comes In From: John Hardly Gee, I don't know Peter. Those "Chimes of Freedom" chords sound like something that Dylan must have lifted from the inimitable Donovan's "Catch The Wind". |

16 Mar 03 - 11:04 PM (#911640) Subject: RE: When The Ship Comes In From: Suffet Bob Dylan's When The Ship Comes In has gained new life among the political left in recent days. One change to note: And the wise women and men will remind you once again, That the whole wide world is watching. Also, those last eight lines are being sung with Messers. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft, and Powell, and Ms. Rice in mind! --- Steve |

22 Mar 11 - 09:48 PM (#3119468) Subject: The hour that the ship came in From: GUEST,mg I think it came in. And the world's wise men will remind us once again that the whole wide world is watching. It is the song that keeps coming to me. I especially like the Clancy Brothers version. There is also a very lovely song by Eliza Gylkerson called Requiem that people are suggesting, as well as some new ones on you tube. mg |

23 Mar 11 - 02:41 AM (#3119534) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: When the Ship Comes In (Bob Dylan) From: Joe Offer There's an article on this song in Wikipedia. I learned the song from the 1965 Peter Paul and Mary A Song Will Rise album, and that's still the recording I like best. Oftentimes, I live cover recordings of Dylan songs better than the Dylan recording. -Joe- |

In China, Dylan is considered a sheng ren – a sage. He did play "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall". The Chinese translation may have sent shivers down the spine of many a Middle Kingdom strategist." Cheerily, Charley Noble |
