MANY RIVERS TO CROSS- Jimmy Cliff

  G              Bm  C
Many rivers to cross
       Bm             C     D    G
But I can't seem to find my way over
  G             Bm  C
Wandering I am lost
        Bm     C         D             G
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:
 C                           G
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
 C                       G
It's such a drag to be on your own
 C                      G   G/F#m Em
My woman left and she didn't say why
 C                      D   (n.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
