Driftwood On The River Chords

(ver. 1)
Ernest Tubb
Driftwood On The River


               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
