Tom: C
C G7
I'm just drift-wood on the river floating down the tide
C
I don't care where this old river carries me
F
I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside
G7 C
And I'm tired of wishing for what can not be
G7
I may meet some bit of drift-wood lost same as I
C
Share a hand shake and a tender tear or two
F
But It's always good luck now we got to say good-bye
G7 C
I must wander on to keep my rendezvous
G7
Though I drift through town and city I can never stay
C
For I find no place to call my home sweet home
F
I don't ask for help or pity I just go my way
G7 C
All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone
G7
I'm just drift-wood on the river and I'm drifting on
C
Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea
F
Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone
G7 C
Yes the careless one who has forgotten me
G7
In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been
C
I feel sorry for the one I must forget
F
And instead of being someone with the world to win
G7 C
I'm just drift-wood on the river of regret
