Lyrics

[Intro]
| F  Am | Bbsus2 Bbmmaj7 | Bbsus2 B | A7sus4 - |
| Bb -  | F      -       |

[Verse 1]
F
Many rivers to cross
Bbsus2     Bbm                  Bbmmaj7
      But I   can't seem to find
C        Dm C
 my way over
F              Am
Wandering I am lost
Bbsus2     Bbm     Bbmmaj7
      As I travel along
C                   Dm     F
 the white cliffs of  Dover

[Verse 2]
F              Am
Many rivers to cross
Bbsus2        Bbm        Bbmmaj7
      And it's   only my will
C              Dm   C
 that keeps me alive
          F                     Am
I've been licked, washed up for years
Bbsus2     Bbm              Bbmmaj7
      And I   merely survive
C              Dm   F
 because of my pride

[Bridge]
Bb                               F
  And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Bb                         Bb/F
  It's such a drag to be on    your own
Bb                         F
  My woman left me and she didn't say why
Bb                        Bb/C
  Well I guess, I have to try 

[Chorus]
F              Am
Many rivers to cross
Bbsus2        Bbm
      But just   where to begin,
Bbmmaj7 C            Bb/F    C
         I'm playing for time
          F            Am
There are times I find myself
Bbsus2        Aaug         Bb  C          F
      Thinking    of committing some dreadful crime

[Outro]
              F              Am
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
Bbsus2      Bbm               Bbmmaj7
      But I can't seem to find
C       Bb/F C
 my way over
F              Am
Wandering I am lost
Bbsus2     Aaug        Bb
      As I travel along
C                   F     C
 the white cliffs of Dover
              F              Am
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross

[Fade Out]
   Bbsus2    Aaug         Bb C               F C
And      I merely survive because of my pride
