[Intro] D G D G D G F [Verse]
C                           F        Am                               G
Someone told me there's a grace that leads you straight from place to place

 C                       F      Am
And you always leave the road behind you

    C                      F         Am                G
You don't need your horses shod, just a dowser and his rod

  C                            F       Am
Leave your mistress, she won't need to find you
[Chorus]
D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

D                          G
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

D                                      G
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

C                       F    Am                  G
Lead my weary flesh and bone to a circle made of stone

C                        F      Am
Take me to the mountains for my pleasure

    C                       F     Am                     G
And if the dead man won't depart, drive a stake into his heart

    C                  F       Am
And let me ere deliver him his leisure
[Chorus]
D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

D                          G
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

C                        F    Am                     G
When you see the race is run and the dark has just begun

     C                   F         Am
Come on with the few and leave the many

C                           F   Am                    G
Then you'll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand

C                     F          Am
He'll show you a good time for a penny
[Chorus]
D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

D                          G
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid

D                                    G
Oh please, journeyman, help me on my way

D                                      G
Oh please, help me please, I won't be afraid
[Outro] D G D G D G D
