Too Many Rivers
Words & Music by Harlan HowardRecorded by Brenda Lee, 1965 (#13)
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
I wish I could come back to you, Dear,
G G/G+ A7 A7+5 D Cdim G/E A7
'Cause I know that you want me to;
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
But too much water's run under that old bridge --
G G/G+ A7 A7/C# G Fdim D A7
There's too many rivers between me and you
Refrain:
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
There's too many rivers to cross, Dear;
G A7 A7+5 D Cdim G/E A7
Too many dreams have been lost,
D6/F# B7
And there's too many nights
E7 Edim E7
That I've turned and I've tossed --
G G/G# A7 A7/C# G Fdim D A7
There's too many rivers to cross.
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
Now don't think for a moment I blame only you;
G G/G# A7 A7+5 D Cdim G/E A7
We both peeled the fruit on the vine.
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
And when you try to put love back together,
G G/G# A7 A7/C# G Fdim D A7
There's al - ways a few little pieces you can't find.
Refrain:
D6/F# B7 E7 Edim E7
There's too many rivers to cross, Dear;
G A7 A7+5 D Cdim G/E A7
Too many dreams have been lost,
D6/F# B7
And there's too many nights
E7 Edim E7
That I've turned and I've tossed --
G G/G# A7 A7/C# G Gdim D
There's too many rivers to cross.
