F              Am     Bb
Many rivers to cross
       Edim          Bb   C    F
But I can't seem to find my way over
  F             Am     Bb
Wandering I am lost
     Edim     Bb  C                   F
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:
 Bb                           F
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
 Bb                    F
It's such a drag to be on your own
 Bb                   F      C   Dm   C
My woman left and she didn't say why
 Bb                     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
