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 [Em D]
And when the rain came down,
Em [Dsus4 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,

CHORUS:
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 D] Em [Em D] Em

G Em
In the rolling mist as he gets on board
G C

C G C G D
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water.
Em [Em D]
And then the ferryman said
Em [Dsus4 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 D] Em [Em D] Em

Repeat intro

B
Yea....

CHORUS

CHORUS

Em D D Em Em Em
Don't pay... The Ferry-man!
