Track 7 of 12 on the album "By Request" (1966) [Intro] D E A D A [Verse 1]
  A            F#7          B7
I wish I could come back to you, dear

         D         E           A  E
'cause I know that you want me to

    A        F#7        B7
But too much waters run under that old bridge

            D        E        A     D      A
And there's too many rivers between me and you
[Chorus]
        A        F#7       B7
There's too many rivers to cross, dear

    D        E                A    E
And too many dreams have been lost

            A        F#7                   B7
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and I've tossed

             D        E         A  D  A
There's just too many rivers to cross
[Steel Guitar Solo] A F#7 B7 [Guitar Solo] D E A [Verse 2]
           A           F#7         B7
Now, don't think for a moment that I blame only you

       D               E            A    E
For we both killed the fruit on the vine

             A          F#7         B7
And when you try to put love back together

        D        E          A      D         A
There's always a few little pieces you can't find
[Chorus]
              A        F#7       B7
Lord, there's too many rivers to cross, dear

    D        E                A    E
And too many dreams have been lost

            A        F#7                   B7
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and I've tossed

             D        E         A  D  A
There's just too many rivers to cross
