D#               G
Many rivers to cross
G#     G             G#
But I can't seem to find
A#     D#  A#
My way over

Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive

            D#
I've been licked
               G
Washed up for years
G#     G         G#
And I merely survive
A#              D#
Because of my pride

Chorus:
G#                              D#
And this loneliness just won't leave me alone
G#                D#
Such a drag to be on your own
G#                    D#          G#
My woman left and she didn't say why
                         A#
Well I guess, I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime

Chorus:
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross
