Driftwood On The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm just driftwood on the river,
floating [G]down the tide.
I don't care where this old river carries [C]me.
I keep drifting just because my
heart is [F]broken inside
And I'm [G]tired of wishing
for what cannot [C]be
I may be some bit of driftwood,
lost the [G]same as I
Share a handshake and a
tender tear [C]or two
But it's always good luck, pal,
we've got to [F]say goodbye
[C]I m[F]ust wand[G]er on to keep
my rendez[C]vous
Though [G]I d[C]rift through town and city,
I can nev[G]er stay
For I find no place to call my home,
sweet [C]home
I don't ask for help or pity,
I just [F]go my way
All I'm [G]prayin' for is peace
to dream [C]along
Aw, Pete [G]Mitchell![C][G][C][F][G][C]
I'm just driftwood on the river,
and I'm [G]drifting on till this weary
river meets the deep [C]blue sea.
Where the deep blue sea
may help me to forget [F]someone
Yes, the [G]careless one who
has forgotten [C]me
In [G]my [C]heart I don't feel bitter
over [G]what has been
I feel sorry for the one I must forget
[C]And instead of being someone
with the [F]world to [C]win,[F]
I'm just [G]driftwood on the river of regret.
[C][C]
