Too Many Bridges to Cross Over
D. Frazier


CAPO IV


INTRO: D  Bm  D  Em  A  D

   D               Bn                D
Be close to me but please don't ever love me
                        G              A
Don't let your feelings carry you that far
    D                             G                  Em
I'll hold you in my arms, buy you clothes and pretty charms
         D             A               D
And I'll give you everything except my love, because


CHORUS:
        D        G                D
There's too many bridges to cross over
         G              A
Too many places I ain't been
             D        G                  D
Yeah there's too many fields of temptin' clover
        Em          A7          D
Like an eagle I'm a prisoner of the wind


INTRO


Well travellin' was the nickname of my papa
And mama said he died 'cause he slowed down
Keep in mind these things I'm sayin' 'cause I ain't got the time for stayin'
Won't be long until my shoes touch distant ground, because


CHORUS


OUTRO: D  Bm  D
