Many rivers to _ [Am] cross, _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] I can't seem to [Bb] find _ _ [C] _ my [F] way over. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] I wander _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] as I travel [Bb] _ _ along _ [C]
the wide [F] cliffs of Dover. _ _
[Gm] And _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[A] it's only [Bb] my will _ _
[C] _ that keeps [F] me alive. _
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ Washed up [Am] for _ _ [Bb] years, _ _ [A] and I merely [Bb] survive _ _ _
[C] _ because [F] of my pride.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
And this loneliness [F] won't leave me alone.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ It's such a _ drag to be [F] on your _ own.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ My woman _ left me [F] and she didn't _ [G] mind.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Well, I guess I have [C] to grind.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ Many rivers to cross, _ _ _ [Gm] _
but [A] just where [Bb] to begin? _
[C] _ _ I'm [F] playing for _ _ [Gm] time.
_ [F] Every time [Am] I find myself [Bb] _ _ _
[A] committing, _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [E] some [F] dreadful _ crime.
_ [Gm] Yes, I [F] got many _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] rivers to cross, but [A] I can't seem [Bb] to find _
[C] _ my [F] way over.
I wander as _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ I travel [Bb] along _ _
[C] the wide [F] cliffs of _ [C]
Dover.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [A] And [Bb] it's only my _ _
[C] will [Gm] that keeps me alive.
