i needed to sing in a step down from the versions i saw in G.
the F#m is played with the B and e strings open.
there are a few walk-ups and downs on the last line of each verse, that you can fit in with a little practice.
this is my first submission, hope it works for you.

When The Ship Comes In – B. Dylan
D F#m
Oh the time will come up
G D
When the winds will stop
Bm G D
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
D F#m
Like the stillness in the wind
G D
Before the hurricane begins,
D A D
The hour that the ship comes in.
F#m G D
And the sea will split And the ship will hit
F#m G D
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
D F#m
Then the tide will sound
G D
And the waves will pound
D G A D
And the morning will be a-brea --- king.

D F#m G D
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Bm G D
And the seagulls will be a-smilin'
D F#m G D
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
D A D
The hour that the ship comes in.
F#m G D
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
F#m G D
Will not be understood as they're spoken
D F#m G D
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
D G A D
And be buried on the bottom of the o --- cean

D F#m G D
A song will lift as the main sail shifts
Bm G D
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
D F#m G D
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
D A D
The hour that the ship comes in.
F#m G D
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
F#m G D
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
F#m G D
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
D G A D
That the whole wide world is wa----tchin'

D F#m G D
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
Bm G D
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
D F#m
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
G D
And they'll know that it's for real,
D A D
The hour that the ship comes in.
F#m
And they'll raise their hands
G D
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands
F#m G D
But we'll shout from the bow Your days are numbered
D F#m G D
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drowned in the tide
D G A D
And like Goliath they'll be con---quered
