[Gbm] [A] [Em]
[Gb] [A] [Em]
[C] [Em]
[A]
[D] [Em]
It was late at [G] night on the open road, speeding like [C] a man on the run.
A lifetime [Am] spent preparing [D] for the journey.
[Em] He's closer [G] now, the search is on.
Reading from a [C] map in the mind, yes there's the [E] ragged hill and the tarp [D] on the river.
[Em] And when the rain came [D] down, [Em] he heard a wild old [D] howl.
[C] There were voices [G] in the night, don't [C] do it.
Voices [G] out of sight, don't do [C] it.
Too many men have failed, [B]
[Bm] don't pay the ferryman.
Don't even fix it right, [Em] don't pay the ferryman.
Until he gets you to the other [D] side,
[Em] [D] [Em]
in the rolling [G] mist, and he gets on board.
Now there'll be [C] no turning back, beware that [A] hooded old man [D] at the rudder.
[Em] And then the lightning [G] flashed and the thunder rolled.
People calling [C] out his name, and dancing [E] bones like jabbering on a bone [D] on the water.
[Em] And then the ferryman [D] said, [Em] there is trouble ahead.
[D]
[C] So you must pay [G] me now, don't do [C] it.
You must pay me [G] now, don't do [C] it.
I still have voice came from me, [B]
[Em] [E] [C] don't fix it right.
[Em] Until he gets you to the other side.
[D]
[Em] [D] [Em]
Oh, [C] crap.
I [Em] still have voice came from me, don't fix it [C] right.
And the thunder and the silence all around [Em] me.
[C]
[B]
[Em] [C] Don't fix it right, [Em] don't pay.
[C] Until he gets you to the [Em]
[C] other [Em] side.
[C] [Bm] Oh,
[Em] [D]
[E] [Ab] hey, [B] it's not okay.
