          G                 Em
It 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
                  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      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,

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
Now there'll be no turning back
            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
            G          C              G             D
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned on the water.

     Em           Em D
And then the ferryman said
 Em           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,

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    Em D    Em    Em D    Em

Em    D       Em
