[Em] It was late at night [G] on the open road, speeding [D] like a man on [C] the run.
A lifetime [Em] spent [A] preparing [D] for the journey.
[E] It's closer now [G] and the search is off, reading [D] from a map in [C] her mind.
Yes, there's [G] a rugged [Am] hill and [G] there's a fall on [D] the river.
And [Em] when the rain came [D] down, he [Em] heard a wild dog howl.

[C] voices out [G] of sight.
[C] Too many men hung.

Beware [G] that hurried [Am] old [G] man and [D] the rudder, rudder.
[E] Then the lightning flashed [G] and the thunder roared.
People [D] calling out his [C] name, name, name.
And dancing bones [Am] that jabbered [G] and a moan on [D] the water.
And [Em] then the ferryman said, [D]
there [Em] is trouble ahead.
