Tom : F
F Am A#
Many rivers to cross
Edim A# C F
But I can't seem to find my way over
F Am A#
Wandering I am lost
Edim A# C F
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
F Am A#
Many rivers to cross
Edim A# C F
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
F Am A#
I've been licked, washed up for years
Edim A# C F
And I merely survived because of my pride
A# F
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
A# F
It's such a drag to be on your own
A# F C Dm C
My woman left and she didn't say why
A# C
Well I guess I have to try
F Am A#
Many rivers to cross
Edim A# C F
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
F Am A#
There have been times I find myself
Edim A# C F
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
