Song: The Journeyman's Grace (Swarbrick/Thompson)
Album: Angel Delight (1971)
Artist: Fairport Convention

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
