Eb
Many rivers to cross
Ab        G         Ab
But I can't seem to find
Bb      Eb     Bb
My way over

Eb
Wandering I am lost
Ab    G      Ab
As I travel along
Bb                  Eb     Bb
The white cliffs of Dover

(Drums enter)

Eb
Many rivers to cross
Ab       G       Ab
And it's only my will
Bb            Eb     Bb
That keeps me alive

Eb
I've been licked
Washed up for years
Ab    G        Ab
And I merely survive
Bb             Eb
Because of my pride

[Chorus] (Guitar, Piano, Organ, Drums)
Eb Eb/D Eb/Db
Ab                               Eb          Eb Eb/D Eb/Db
And this loneliness just won't leave me alone
Ab                 Eb         Eb Eb/D Eb/Db
Such a drag to be on your own
Ab                    Eb Eb/D Cm Cm/Bb Ab
My woman left and she didn't say why
                         Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb Bb   Bb
Well I guess, I have to try

[Verse] (Guitar, Piano, Organ, Drums)
Eb
Many rivers to cross
Ab        G          Ab
And just where to begin
Bb              Eb
I'm playing for time

Eb
There's been times I found myself
Ab       G         Ab
Thinking of committing
Bb             Eb
Some terrible crime.

Eb
Yes I've got many rivers to cross
Ab     G            Ab
And I can't seem to find
Bb      Eb
My way over

Eb
Wandering I am lost
Ab     G      Ab
As I travel along
Bb                   Eb
The white cliffs of Dover

Eb
Yes! Many rivers to cross
Ab     G        Ab
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Bb                Eb
Playing for time!

Eb
I've got many rivers to cross
Ab      G            Ab
And I can't seem to find
Bb         Eb
My way over

(Fading out)
Eb
I've got many rivers to cross
Ab     G        Ab
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Bb                Eb
Playing for time!
