Parliament

The Silent Boatman

by Parliament
Parliament

Biography:

Parliament is an American funk band formed in the late 1960s by George Clinton as part of his Parliament-Funkadelic collective. Less rock-oriented than its sister act Funkadelic, Parliament drew on science-fiction and outlandish performances in their work. The band scored a number of Top 10 hits, including the million-selling 1976 single "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)", and Top 40 albums such as Mothership Connection (1975). Clinton dissolved the band in the early 1980s.

Eb Bb Ab Eb
Eb Bb Ab Eb


VERSE:
Eb Bb Ab Eb
It is said that when we leave this world
Eb Bb Ab Eb
If we have suffered we will be saved
Eb Bb Ab Eb
So I'll lift up my head, whoever I am
Eb Bb Ab Eb
What I cannot do here, there's a place that I can


CHORUS:
Dbm Ebm
I'm waiting for the silent boatman
E Gb B B
To ferry me across the unknown waters

Eb Bb Ab Eb


VERSE:
Eb Bb
In this life, though I've tried
Ab Eb
Many things couldn't be
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Closed minds with faces looking down onto me
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Parting means grief, but only for those left
Eb Bb Ab Eb
All men descend into earth at the very same depth


CHORUS:
Dbm Ebm
I'm waiting for the silent boatman
E Gb B B
To ferry me across the unknown waters

VERSE:
Eb Bb Ab Eb
I wonder if in death, man at last can love man
Eb Bb Ab Eb
Stripped of all life's gifts to him no ego to remain
Eb Bb Ab Eb
When you reach Jordan's bank, there's no money, power or fame
Eb Bb Ab Eb
No third or second class, the fare is all the same
