MANY RIVERS TO CROSS- Jimmy Cliff

  G (320003@1)            Bm (x24432@1)CMany (x32010@1)rivers to cross
       Bm (x24432@1)           C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)  GBut (320003@1)I can't seem to find my way over
  G (320003@1)           Bm (x24432@1)CWandering (x32010@1)I am lost
        Bm (x24432@1)   C (x32010@1)       D (xx0232@1)           GAs (320003@1)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 (x32010@1)                         GAnd (320003@1)this loneliness won't leave me alone
 C (x32010@1)                     GIt's (320003@1)such a drag to be on your own
 C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1) G/F#m EmMy (022000@1)woman left and she didn't say why
 C (x32010@1)                    D (xx0232@1) (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
