G              Bm  C 
Many rivers to cross 
       Bm             C     D    G 
But I can't seem to find my way over 
  G             Bm  C 
Wandering I am lost 
        Bm     C         D             G 
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover 

Many rivers to cross 
And it's only my will that keeps me alive 
I've been licked, washed up for years 
And I merely survived because of my pride 

 C                           G 
And this loneliness won't leave me alone 
 C                       G 
It's such a drag to be on your own 
 C                      G     F#m Em 
My woman left and she didn't say why 
 C                      D   (n.c.) 
Well I guess I have to try
 

Many rivers to cross 
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time 
There have been times I find myself 
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime 

REPEAT FIRST VERSE 
CHORUS
