Don't Pay the Ferryman 3:48 Tabbed by: Betty Lou Em C Em C D Em D Em

It was l^Emate at night on the ^Gopen road, sp^Geeding like a m^Dan on the r^Cun, a lifetime sp^Gent prepa^Amring for the j^Dourney. He is cl^Emoser now and the s^Gearch is on, r^Geading from a m^Dap in the m^Cind. Yes! There's that r^Gagged h^Amill and there's a b^Goat on the r^Diver.

And when the r^Emain came down,^D he heard a w^Emild dog howl,^D there were v^Coices in the n^Gight, (Don't do it ! ) v^Coices out of s^Gight, (Don't do it !) ^C too many men have failed bef^B7ore, whatever you do :

^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman! Don't ^Deven f^Cix a price ! ^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman, until he g^Cets you to the ^Dother s^Emide. ^D

+ Em D Em

In the r^Emolling mist, then he g^Gets on board, n^Gow there'll be no t^Durning b^Cack, beware that h^Gooded ^Amold man at the r^Dudder.

And then the l^Emightning flashed and the thu^Gnder roared, and p^Geople calling o^Dut his n^Came, and dancing b^Gones that j^Amabbered-and-a-m^Goaned on the w^Dater.

And then the f^Emerryman said,^D "There ^Emis trouble ah^Dead, so y^Cou must pay me n^Gow." (Don't do it !) &q^Cuot;You must pay^G me now." (Don't do it !) ^C And still that voice came from bey^B7ond, whatever you do :

^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman! Don't ^Deven f^Cix a price ! ^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman, until he g^Cets you to the ^Dother s^Emide. ^D

^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman! Don't ^Deven f^Cix a price ! ^Em Don't p^Day the f^Emerryman, until he g^Cets you to the ^Dother s^Emide.

Long ride, holding her hand, Looking all the words we cannot speak, One mile to the boulevard, And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you Homeward, back to your land, Back to the one who is there, Go now, but go in love, For it's the only way, And you'll be crying, laughing, Half a world away, You'll be crying, laughing, For the love we have, But you must go, Crying, laughing, Half a world away, You'll be crying, laughing, Don't forget me love, When you go away... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 04.
