Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
C
Carry my memory on
G
Out to the island
Em F
On the horizon
C (follow the rough tab below- play along with the song to get rhythm)
Following the path to the sun
C
Following the path to the sun
(Let the bass notes ring out)

[Verse 1]
G Dm F C
Over the sandbar, holding the North Star
Am
Steady between mast and spar
Dm Am C G
Creak of the oars and turn of the hours
F
Keeping watch for the power
G Dm F C
Watch for the waves' breath, watch for the moon's death
Am
Down in the waters of day
[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
C
Carry my memory on
G
Out to the island
Em F
On the horizon
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
[Verse 2]
G Dm F C
For the stone ones are broken, my sadness is woken
Am
The sea roads are mistaken
Dm Am C G
So stand by the hail, with a shirt for a sail
Am
We grow weak and frail
G Dm F C
And with arms made of granite, in a blaze of the gannets
Am
We row off this planet
[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
C
Carry my memory on
G
Out to the island
Em F
On the horizon
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
C
Carry my memory on
G
Out to the island
Em F
On the horizon
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
