C F Am G
someone told me there’s a grace that leads you straight from place to place
C F Am
and you always leave the road behind you
C F Am G
you don’t need your horses shod , just a dowser and his rod
C F Am
leave your mistress , she won’t need to find you

D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid
D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid

C F Am G
leave my weary flesh and bone to a circle made of stone
C F Am
take me to the mountains for my pleasure
C F Am G
and if the dead man won’t depart , drive a stake into his heart
C F Am
and let me ere deliver him his leisure

D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid
D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid

D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid
D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid

C F Am G
when you see the race is run and the dark has just begun
C F Am
come on with the few and leave the many
C F Am G
there you’ll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand
C F Am
he’ll show you a good time for a penny

D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid
D G
oh please , journeyman , help me on my way
D G
oh please , help me please , i won’t be afraid
