VERSE:
Eb Bb Ab Eb
It is said that when we leave this world
Eb Bb Ab Eb
If we have suffered we will be saved
Eb Bb Ab Eb
So I`ll lift up my head, whoever I am
Eb Bb Ab Eb
What I cannot do here, there`s a place that I can
CHORUS:
Dbm Ebm
I`m waiting for the silent boatman
E Gb B B
To ferry me across the unknown waters
Eb Bb Ab Eb
VERSE:
Eb Bb
In this life, though I`ve tried
Ab Eb
Many things couldn`t be
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Closed minds with faces looking down onto me
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Parting means grief, but only for those left
Eb Bb Ab Eb
All men descend into earth at the very same depth
CHORUS:
Dbm Ebm
I`m waiting for the silent boatman
E Gb B B
To ferry me across the unknown waters

VERSE:

I wonder if in death, man at last can love man
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Stripped of all life`s gifts to him no ego to remain
Eb Bb Ab Eb
When you reach Jordan`s bank, there`s no money, power or fame
Eb Bb Ab Eb
No third or second class, the fare is all the same
