Don't Pay The Ferryman Chris De Burgh
Intro:
[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em] [D] [Em]
It was [Em]late at night on the [G]open road. Speeding like a man on the run[C].
A [C]lifetime [G/B]spent pre[Am]paring [G]for the jour[D]ney.
He was [Em]closer now and the [G]search was on, reading from a map in the mind[C],
yes, [C]there's the [G/B]ragged hill, [Am]and there's a [G]boat on the [D]river.
And when the [Em]rain came down, [D] he heard a [Em]wild dog howl, [D]
There were voi[C]ces in the night[G/B] (don't do it), [C]voices out of si[G/B]ght (don't do it).
[C]Too many men have failed before[B7] whatever you do.
[Em]Don't [D]pay the fer[Em]ryman, don't even fi[C]x a pr[D]ice.
[Em]Don't [D]pay the fer[Em]ryman until he [C]gets you to the [D]other side.[Em] [D] [Em] [D] [Em]
In the [Em]roaming mist then he [G]gets on board, now there'll be no turning [C]back.
Beware that [G/B]hooded [Am]old man at the [G]ruder. [D]
And then the [Em]lightning flashed and the [G]thunder roared and people calling out his [C]name,
and dancing [G/B]bows that [Am]jabbered and amoaned on the [D]water.
And then the [Em]ferryman said, [D] there is [Em]trouble ahead, [D]
so [C]you must pay me now[G/B] (don't do it), you must pay me now[G/B] (don't do it),
[C]and still that voice came through the air[B7], whatever you do.
Chorus (2x)
[Em]Don't [D]pay ----------- the [D]ferry[Em]man.
