[Verse 1]
C              Em     F
Many rivers to cross
      Em                 F     G7        C
But I just can't seem to find     my way over
C              Em    F
Wandering I am lost
     Em      F     G7                 C
As I travel along     white cliffs of Dover

[Verse 2]
C              Em     F
Many rivers to cross
          Em       F     G7           C
And it's all in my mind,    keeps me alive
               C                     Em      F
Well I've been licked, washed up for years
      Em        F      G7              C
And I merely survived     'cause of my pride

[Chorus]
F          G                C              C7
  And this loneliness won't leave me alone
F             G          C
  It's such a drag to be on your own
F          G               C          C/B  Am Am/G
  My woman left me and she didn't say why
      D/F#   Em      D      C        G7
And I guess,   and I guess I have to try, try

[Solo]
C Em F Em F G7 C
C Em F Em F G7 C

[Chorus]
F          G                C              C7
  And this loneliness won't leave me alone
F             G          C
  It's such a drag to be on your own
F          G               C          C/B  Am Am/G
  My woman left me and she didn't say why
      D/F#   Em      D      C        G7
And I guess,   and I guess I have to try, try

[Verse 3]
C           Em             F
Many, many, many rivers to cross
         Em       F       G7                 C
But just where to begin?     I'm playing for time
                C                  Em     F
There have been times I've found myself
           Em        F      G7           C
Sitting in limbo, oh no, oh no,    for a lifetime

[Verse 4]
C              Em     F
Many rivers to cross
      Em                 F     G7        C
But I just can't seem to find     my way over
C              Em    F
Wandering I am lost
     Em      F     G7                 C
As I travel along     white cliffs of Dover

[Ending]
C           Em             F
Many, many, many rivers to cross
      Em                 F     G7        C
But I just can't seem to find     my way over
