Don't Pay The Ferryman

Key: E

Introduction:

                G                                                    Em  
I was late at night on the open road
G                                                                    C  
Speeding like a man on the run
     C                    G                    C            G                    D  
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
                G                                              Em  
He is closer now, as the search is on
G                                                                 C  
Reading from a map in the mind
             C                              G              C                                              G                            D  
Yes, there's that rugged hill and there's a boat on the river.
                Em                                 D  
And when the rain came down,
                Em                         D4  D  
He heard a wild dog howl.
                             C                                 G  
There were voices in the night. (Don?t do it)
C                                 G  
Voices out of sight. (Don?t do it)
C                                                                      B  
"Too many men have failed before  whatever you do,
Em         D                 Em  
Don't pay the ferryman
Em         D         Em         C            D  
Don't even fix a price
Em         D                 Em  
Don't pay the ferryman
     C                                      D            Em  
Until he gets you to the other side"
Em  DEm     Em  DEm  
                  G                                              Em  
In the rolling mist as he gets on board
G                                                                              C  
Now there'll be no turning back
     C                      G              C              G                 D  
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
                     G                                                                 Em  
And the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled
          G                                                                    C  
And people calling out his name
          C                 G                         C                                    G                                 D  
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water.
                Em                                 D  
And then the ferryman said
        Em                              D4  D  
"there is trouble ahead
        C                                      G  
So you must pay me now" (don't do it)
  C                                      G  
"You must pay me now" (don't do it)
C                                                                              B  
And still that voice came from beyond: "whatever you do,
Chorus
Em  DEm     Em  DEm  
Repeat intro
B  
        Yea....
Chorus
Em         D                          Em  
Don't pay...      The Ferry-man!
