Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff

() Many rivers to cross        [Verse]

But I can't seem to find   C#  F7 F# F7

My way over - …            F# G#  C#  C#

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     F# F# C#    C#

                        F# F# C#    C#

               [Bridge] F# F# C#-F7 Bbm

And this loneliness     F# F# G#    G#-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)
