Dont Pay The Ferryman

Em                           G   
It was late at night on the open 
                                C
road, speeding like a man on the run
           C/B     Am  G         
A lifetime spent preparing for 
     D
the journey.
Em                        G      
He is closer now and the search 
is on, reading from a map in the 
C
mind,
          C/B           Am        
Yes! There's that ragged hill and 
           G           D
there's a boat on the river.

[Bridge]
             Em        D      
And when the rain came down, he 
          Em       D
heard a wild dog howl
             C            G
There were voices in the night      
 (Don't do it!)
C             G/D                
Voices out of sight           
       C
(Don't do it!)
                           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 
 D  Em  D  Em
side.

[Verse]
       Em                     G   
In the rolling mist, then he gets 
on board, now there'll be no turning
  C
 back
C           Am        G          
Beware that hooded old man at the 
  D
rudder.
Em                                
And then the lightning flashed and
       G
 the thunder roared,
                           C
and people calling out his name,
      C              
And dancing bones that 
Am                 G            D
jabbered-and-a-moaned on the water.

[Bridge]
              Em         D        
And then the ferryman said "There 
     Em        D
is trouble ahead,
     C             G
So you must pay me now."
(Don't do it!)
    C              G
"You must pay me now."
  C
(Don't do it!)
And still that voice came from 
 B
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 
 D  Em  D  Em
side.
Em   D       D  Em
Dont pay the ferryman...
