And we're going to leave you with a unique collaboration that's had grown men and women
reduced to tears over the last couple of days of rehearsals.

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Many [F] _ _ _ rivers _ cross
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] But I can't seem to [Bb] follow
_ _ _ My [F] way over
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
[F] Wondering _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ as [A] I travel _ [Bbm] along
Like [C] _ _ _
[F] cliffs of Dover
[Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ Many rivers to cross
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bbm] And it's [A] only my [Bb] will
_ _ [C] _ _
That [F] keeps me alive
_ [Bb] _ _ [C]
I've [F] been licked, washed up for years
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] And I nearly _ [Bb] survived
_ _ [C] _ _
Because [F] of my pride
[Eb] _ _ [F] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ And this loneliness won't leave [F] me alone

_ [Bb] _ heart, I guess I'm [Cm] after
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] Many rivers, _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ but [F] just where [Gm] to begin
_ _ [C] _ _ [Em]
I'm [F] playing for _ [D] time _ _
[Em] There've [Fm] been times [G] I [Bb] find myself
_ _ _ _ _ Thinking [F] [Gm] of committing _ _ _ _
Some [F] dreadful _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] crime
_ [F] _ Many rivers to cross
_ _ [Bb] _ _ And it's [Dm] only my [Bb] will
_ _ _ [C] _
That [Fm] keeps me _ _ _ [Bb]
alive
[C] _ _ Why as [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
I travel along _ _
_ _ Like [F] cliffs of Dover
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] Love _ _ is my foundation
[Bb] Rivers to cross
_ Wisdom [F] is my [Gm] capital _
_ [C] Struggle is my manner
[G] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _
Truth is my [F] redeemer
Rivers [Bb] to cross
_ Sorrow is [G] my companion _
_ _ [C] Love is my foundation, [F] _
_ _ [Bb] yeah
_ [C] _ _ [F] _
Many rivers to cross
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ But just [F] where [G] to _ _ begin
[C] _ _ [F] Been playing for _ _ _ [Bb] time
[C] At [F] _ times I find myself
[Bb] Rivers to cross
_ Thinking _ [F]
of [Gm] committing _ _ _ _ _ _
The _ white [C] cliffs _ _ of _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Dover _ _ _
