Version 1 Version 2
              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
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survived because of my pride
CHORUS:
 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
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
CHORUS
