Many Rivers To Cross

Biography:

Harry Edward Nilsson III (born June 15, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York - died January 15, 1994), usually credited as simply Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter with a three octave vocal range. He won Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Male Vocal Performance for "Everybody's Talkin'" (1970) and "Without You" (1973), also his two biggest hits. Although both the aforementioned songs were composed by others, he was a talented songwriter in his own right, having written "One", a hit single for Three Dog Night.

VERSE 1

C Em F
Many rivers to cross
E F G C
But I just can't seem to find, my way over
C Em F E F
Wandering, I am lost, as I travel along
G C
The white cliffs of Dover
C Em F
Many rivers to cross
E F G C
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
C Em F
Well I've been licked, washed up for years
E F G C
And I merely survived because of my pride

CHORUS 1

F G C C7
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
F G C C7
It's such a drag to be on your own
F G C(Riff) D7
My woman left me and she didn't say why
G
Well I guess I have to try

SOLO(chords same as Verse)

Sweet thing

Sweet thing

CHORUS 2

F G C C7
And this loneliness just won't leave me alone
F G C C7
You know it's such a drag to be on your own
F G C(Riff) D7
My woman left me but she didn't say why
G
So I guess I have to try, try

VERSE 2
C Em F E
Many, many rivers to cross

F G
But just where to begin
C
I'm praying for time
Em F E
There have been times I found myself sitting in limbo
F G C
Alone, alone, for my lifetime

OUTRO VERSE

C Em F
Many rivers to cross
E F G C
But I just can't seem to find, my way over
C Em F E F G
Wandering, I am lost as I travel along
C
The white cliffs of Dover
