Many rivers to [Am] cross,
[Bb] but [A] I can't seem to [Bb] find [C] my [F] way over.
[C] I'm
[F] as
[Am] [Bb] [A]
I travel [Bb] along
[C] the wide [F] cliffs of Dover
[Gm] I've [F]
lost the door
[Bb]
and [A] it's only [Bb] my will
that [C] [F] keeps me alive
[Gm] I've [F] been laid, washed up for years
[Bb]
and [A] I nearly [Bb] survived
[C] because [F] of my pride
And [Bb]
this loneliness won't [F] leave me alone
It's [Bb]
such a trend [F] you're on
[Bb]
My woman left me [F] to say
Why [G] [Bb]

[Am] [Bb]
[Dm] [A] [Bb]
[C] [Gm]
but I can't seem to find
