Driftwood on the River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm just driftwood on the
river floating [A]down the tide
I don't care where this
old river carries [D]me
I keep drifting just be[Dm]cause
[D]my heart is [G]broken inside
And [A]I'm tired of wishing for
what cannot [D]be
(I may meet some little
driftwood lost [A]as same as I
Share a handshake and
a tender tear [D]or two)
But it's always good luck how
we got to [G]say goodbye
I must [A]wander on to keep
my [D]rendezvous

[Verse 2]
[D]Though I drift through town
and city I can [A]never stay
For I find no place to call my
home sweet [D]home
I don't ask for help or pitty I just [G]go my way
All I'm [A]praying for is peace to
dream [D]alone[G][A]
[D]
(I'm just driftwood on the
river and [A]I'm drifting on
Till this weary river meets
the deep [D]blue sea)
Where the deep blue sea may help
me to for[A]get [G]someone
Yes the care[A]less one who has forgotten [D]me
In my heart I don't feel bitter
over [A]what has been
I feel sorry [D]for [A]the one I must [D]forget
And instead of being someone
with [G]the world to win
I'm just [A]driftwood on the river of regret
[D]
