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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
C                       F    Am                  G
Lead 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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
Then you'll find the journeyman with a lantern in his hand
C                     F          Am
He'll show you a good time for a penny

[Chorus]
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
