Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff

() Many rivers to cross        [Verse]

But I can't seem to find   G  B7 C B7

My way over - …            C D  G  G

Wandering, I am lost

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     C C G    G

                        C C G    G

               [Bridge] C C G-B7 Em

And this loneliness     C C D    D-X

Won't leave me alone

It's such a drag - To be on your own

My woman left - And she didn't say why

Well, I guess I - Have to try


Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin

I'm playing for time - … - There been

    times, I find myself

Thinking of committing         [Verse]

Some dreadful crime    (Yes, I've got)
