GEm It was late at night on the open road GC Speeding like a man on the run CGCGD A lifetime spent preparing for the journey GEm He is closer now as the search is on GC Reading from a map in the mind GCGD Yes there's that rugged hill and there's a boat on the river EmD And when the rain came down EmDsus4D He heard a wild dog howl CG There were voices in the night don't do it CG Voices out of sight don't do it CB Too many men have failed before whatever you do
EmDEm Don't pay the ferryman EmDEmCD Don't even fix a price EmDEm Don't pay the ferryman CDEm Until he gets you to the other side

GEm In the rolling mist as he gets on board GC Now there'll be no turning back GCGD Beware that hooded old man at the rudder GEm And the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled GC And people calling out his name GCGD And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water
EmEmD And then the ferryman said EmD There is trouble ahead CG So you must pay me now don't do it CG You must pay me now don't do it CB And still that voice came from beyond whatever you do
