  			Intro:  Em C G Am - Em C G C 

 G 
I´m getting near my destination 
 C             G 
A slow train crawl 
 G 
Like a fool i nearly miss the station 
C               G 
It´s grown so small 
      G 
Not betting on an easy landing 
C           G 
Out of the blue 
  G                            D              C        G 
These shuttered houses and a clock still standing at 1962 


  G              Em   D  C                G 
Waiting for the ferry,   tickets in their hand 
  G                     D                    Am 
Good people that were never out of sight of land 
                 Em   D  C                G 
Waiting for the ferry,   ticket in their hand 
G                      D                  Am 
Good people that you knew would never understand  


           C      G 
And we´re all on board 
  C                   G 
It´s not very far to ride 
       C                 G 
Your river is not like Jordan 
       C 
We´ll meet on the other side 


Bridge: Em C G Am - Em C G C 


 G 
A stony church where lovers lingered  
 C            G 
In years gone by 
     G 
The hand of god still points a finger 
  C         G 
Across the sky 
    G 
A stony road to no salvation 
 C            D 
Who sheads a tear 
 G                             D             C             G 
I think that both of us were looking for a shortcut out of here 


  G              Em   D  C               G 
Waiting for the ferry,   tickets in our hand 
  G                     D                    Am 
Good people that were never out of sight of land 
                 Em   D  C              G 
Waiting for the ferry,   ticket in our hand 
G                      D                  Am 
Good people that you knew would never understand  


 Em                                      D 
Could´ve brought you whiskey, could´ve brought you wine 
     C                           Am          D       
The only thing i can´t bring is time, time, time  


           C      G 
And we´re all on board 
  C                   G 
It´s not very far to ride 
       C                 G 
Your river is not like Jordan 
       C 
We´ll meet on the other side
