01. Don't Pay the Ferryman 3:48
Tabbed by: Betty Lou
Em C Em C D Em D Em
Em G
It was late at night on the open road,
G D C
speeding like a man on the run,
G Am D
a lifetime spent preparing for the journey.
Em G
He is closer now and the search is on,
G D C
reading from a map in the mind.
G Am G D
Yes! There's that ragged hill and there's a boat on the river.
Em D Em D
And when the rain came down, he heard a wild dog howl,
C G
there were voices in the night, (Don't do it ! )
C G
voices out of sight, (Don't do it !)
C B7
too many men have failed before, whatever you do :
Em D Em D C
Don't pay the ferryman! Don't even fix a price !
Em D Em C D Em D
Don't pay the ferryman, until he gets you to the other side.
+ Em D Em
Em G
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
G D C
now there'll be no turning back,
G Am D
beware that hooded old man at the rudder.
Em G
And then the lightning flashed and the thunder roared,
G D C
and people calling out his name,
G Am G D
and dancing bones that jabbered-and-a-moaned on the water.
Em D Em D
And then the ferryman said, "There is trouble ahead,
C G
so you must pay me now." (Don't do it !)
C G
"You must pay me now." (Don't do it !)
C B7
And still that voice came from beyond, whatever you do :
Em D Em D C
Don't pay the ferryman! Don't even fix a price !
Em D Em C D Em D
Don't pay the ferryman, until he gets you to the other side.
+ Em D Em C B7
Em D Em D C
Don't pay the ferryman! Don't even fix a price !
Em D Em C D Em
Don't pay the ferryman, until he gets you to the other side.
+ repeat CHORUS (2x)
D Em
+ Don’t pa…y the ferryman !

03. Crying and Laughing 4:33
Tabbed by: Gunter Kohl
Em Esus4 Em
Searchlights, rain on the road,
Bm Asus4 - A
Waiting for the airport limousine,
C G
Your time in this foreign land,
Am B
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how
Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,
C D B Em
Homeward, back to your world,
C D Em
Back to the one who is there,
C D B Em
Go now, but go in love,
C
For it's the only way;
D G - D C - Em
And you'll be crying, laughing,
C D G
Half a world away,
C D G - D C - Em
You'll be crying, laughing,
C D
For the love we have,
Em
When you go away...
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...
