[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 (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 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
