[F] Many rivers to [Am] cross [Bb]
But I [Am] can’t seem to [Bb] find my [C] way [F] over
[F] Wandering I am [Am] lost [Bb]
As I [Am] travel [Bb] along the [C] white cliffs of [F] Dover
[F] Many rivers to [Am] cross [Bb]
And it’s [Am] only my will [Bb] that [C] keeps [F] me alive
[F] I’ve been licked, [Am][Bb] washed up for years
And I [Am] merely [Bb] survived [C] because of my [F] pride
[Bb] And this loneliness won’t [F] leave me alone
[Bb] it’s such a drag to be on [F] your own
[Bb] My woman left and she [F] didn’t say [Dm] why
[Bb] Well I guess I have to [C] try [NC]
[F] Many rivers to [Am] cross [Bb]
But just [Am] where to [Bb] begin, I’m [C] play [F] ing for time
[F] There have been [Am] times [Bb] I find myself
Thinking [Am] of [Bb] committing [C] some dreadful [F] crime
[F] Many rivers to [Am] cross [Bb]
But I [Am] can’t seem to [Bb] find my [C] way [F] over
[F] Wandering I am [Am] lost [Bb]
As I [Am] travel [Bb] along the [C] white cliffs of [F] Dover
[F] May rivers to [Am] cross [Bb]
And it’s [Am] only my will [Bb] that [C] keeps [F] me alive
[F] I’ve been licked, [Am][Bb] washed up for years
And I [Am] merely [Bb] survived [C] because of my [F] pride
[Bb] And this loneliness won’t [F] leave me alone
[Bb] it’s such a drag to be on [F] your own
[Bb] My woman left and she [F] didn’t say [Dm] why
[Bb] Well I guess I have to [C] try [NC]
