Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
         C
Carry my memory on
           G
Out to the island
       Em  F
On the horizon

                          C (follow the rough tab below- play along with the song to get rhythm)
Following the path to the sun
                          C
Following the path to the sun

           (Let the bass notes ring out)

[Verse 1]
G        Dm       F           C
Over the sandbar, holding the North Star
Am
Steady between mast and spar
Dm           Am       C           G
Creak of the oars and turn of the hours
F
Keeping watch for the power
G             Dm             F             C
Watch for the waves' breath, watch for the moon's death
Am
Down in the waters of day


[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
         C
Carry my memory on
           G
Out to the island
       Em  F
On the horizon

                           C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
                           C (TAB)
Following the path to the sun


[Verse 2]
        G              Dm         F           C
For the stone ones are broken, my sadness is woken
Am
The sea roads are mistaken
Dm              Am    C                  G
So stand by the hail, with a shirt for a sail
Am
We grow weak and frail
G                     Dm            F            C
And with arms made of granite, in a blaze of the gannets
Am
We row off this planet


[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
         C
Carry my memory on
           G
Out to the island
       Em  F
On the horizon

                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun

                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun


[Chorus]
Dm
Ferryman, ferryman
         C
Carry my memory on
           G
Out to the island
       Em  F
On the horizon

                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
                           C  (TAB)
Following the path to the sun
