A E7
I'm just drift-wood on the river floating down the tide
A
I don't care where this old river, carries me
D
I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside
E7 A
And I'm tired of wishing for what can not be
E7
I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost same as I
A
Share a hand shake and a tender tear or two
D
But It's always good luck now we got to say good-bye
E7 A
I must wander on to keep my ron-da-voo
E7
Though I drift through town and city I can never stay
A
For I find no place to call my home sweet home
D
I don't ask for help or pitty I just go my way
E7 A
All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone
E7
I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm drifting on
A
Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea
D
Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget some-one
E7 A
Yes the careless one who has forgotton me
E7
In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been
A
I feel sorry for the one I must forget
D
And instead of being some-one with the world to win
E7 A
I'm just drift-wood on the river of regret
