VERSE:
[Eb]It is s[Bb]aid that when [Ab]we leave t[Eb]his world
[Eb]If we have s[Bb]uffered we w[Ab]ill be s[Eb]aved
[Eb]So I'll lift up my h[Bb]ead, who[Ab]ever I [Eb]am
[Eb]What I cannot do h[Bb]ere, there's a p[Ab]lace that I [Eb]can

CHORUS:
I'm w[Dbm]aiting for the silent [Ebm]boatman
To f[E]erry me across the unkn[Gb]own wat[B]ers[B]

[Eb] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]

VERSE:
[Eb]In this life, though I've t[Bb]ried
Many th[Ab]ings couldn't [Eb]be
Cl[Eb]osed minds with f[Bb]aces looking d[Ab]own onto [Eb]me
P[Eb]arting means gr[Bb]ief, but [Ab]only for those l[Eb]eft
[Eb]All men d[Bb]escend into earth at the v[Ab]ery same d[Eb]epth

CHORUS:
I'm w[Dbm]aiting for the silent [Ebm]boatman

VERSE:
[Eb]I wonder if in d[Bb]eath, man at l[Ab]ast can love [Eb]man
St[Eb]ripped of all life's g[Bb]ifts to him no [Ab]ego to rem[Eb]ain
W[Eb]hen you reach Jordan's b[Bb]ank, there's no m[Ab]oney, power or f[Eb]ame
[Eb]No third or s[Bb]econd class, the f[Ab]are is all the s[Eb]ame
