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
CHORUS:
C G
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
C G
It's such a drag to be on your own
C G 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
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
