_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Sitting on the [Am] riverbank, [D] watching [Am] the water flow. _
[E] Sitting here thinking and wondering, [Em] _ _
[G] _ which way to [Am] go. _ _ _
_ Now the river sings the sweetest [D] songs in a million _ [Am] harbours.
[G] But the sunshine's [A] brighter on the other [Em] side, _ _ it's where I want to [Am] be.
So _ _ [Dm] _
[G] please Mr.
[Am] Ferryman, [Dm] take me [Am] to the other side, where the songbirds sing for me.
_ Where life is [Am] led by the [Em] hand of fate, _ it's how it [Am] ought to be.

_ _ _ [Am] When evening shadows reach out [A] out the setting of the sun.
[C] Will I still be [E] wishing in the wonder [Em] of _ [G]
when the [Am] morning comes. _ _ _
Where I once could swim against the tide [A] like a salmon who [Am] swims for all.
[G] But I'll be happy now, [Am]
[Em] didn't you write, [G] _ when I get [A] home to my home.
[Am] _ _ _ [D] So please [Am] Mr.
_ [A] Ferryman, won't you take me to the [Am] other [A] side, where the songbirds sing [Am] for me.
[G] Where life is led by the [Em] hand of fate, _ [G] _ it's how it [Am] ought to be. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _
I'll take yes as the fern, [D] I should [Am] close my eyes and fall [A] asleep before we land.
We must take these oars and [Em] forever upon, _ _ be in [Am] my heart.
