Don't Pay the Ferryman Chris de Burgh
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 (single upward Strum on Each of first chords)
D5 Em D5 Em
EmI was late at night on the Gopen road
GSpeeding like a Dman on the Crun
A Clifetime C/Bspent Ampreparing Gfor the Djourney
EmHe is closer now, as the Gsearch is on
GReading from a Dmap in the Cmind
CYes, there's that C/Brugged hill and Amthere's a Gboat on the Driver.
And when the Emrain came down, D
He heard a Emwild dog howl. D
There were Cvoices in the Gnight. (don't do it)
CVoices out of Gsight. (don't do it)
CToo many men have failed Bbefore; whatever you do,
CHORUS:
EmDon't Dpay the Emferryman
EmDon't Deven Cfix a price D
EmDon't Dpay the Emferryman
Until he Cgets you to the Dother Emside
Em D Em D Em
EmIn the rolling mist as he Ggets on board
GNow there'll be no Dturning Cback
CBeware that C/Bhooded old Amman at Gthe Drudder
EmAnd the lightning flashed and the Gthunder rolled
And Gpeople calling oDut his Cname
CAnd dancing C/Bbones that Amjabbered and Gmoaned on the Dwater.
And then the Emferryman said D
"there is Emtrouble ahead D
CSo you must pay me Gnow" (don't do it)
CYou must pay me Gnow (don't do it)
CAnd still that voice came from Bbeyond: whatever you do,
