G Bm Many rivers to cross C Bm C D G But I can't seem to find my way over G Bm C Wandering I'm lost Bm C D G As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover G Bm Yes I've got many rivers to cross C Bm C D G And it's only my will that keeps me alive G Bm 'Cause I've been licked, washed up for years C Bm C D G And I merely survive because of my pride. C G And this lonliness won't leave me alone C G It's such a drag to be on your own C G F#m Em 'Cuz my man left me and he didnt say why C D So I guess I'll have to cry. G Bm I've got many rivers to cross C Bm C D G But just where to begin, I'm playing for time G Bm C 'Cuz there've been times I find myself Bm C D G Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime. C G And this lonliness won't leave me alone C G It's such a drag to be on your own C G F#m Em 'Cuz my man left me and he didnt say why C D So I guess I'll have to cry. G Bm I've got many rivers to cross C Bm C D G But just where to begin, I'm playing for time G Bm But I've been licked, and washed up for years C Bm C D G And I merely survive because of my pride (Many rivers to) Oh cross!
