The Drifter chords by Neil Diamond

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Arpeggio strum

Verse 1:
D
Well, i'm the drifter
D
I walk the highways
  G
I cross the river
     D
That rolls on forgotten
D
I sing for the living
D

Live for the trying
    G
But what's it about
       D
If you got to be trying alone

Verse 2:
D
And i'm the dreamer
D
Who climbed the mountain
    G
Who saw forever
D
Across the ocean
D
But you found me waiting
D
And knew that i would
   G
Be lost forever
A         D
I kept on trying alone

Chorus:
D
They call me the drifter
D
And i walk the highways
  G
I crossed every river
     A
That rolled on forgotten
    D
I'd sing for the living

But inside was dying
       G
'Cause what's it about
       A                D
If you got to be trying alone

Verse 3:
D
Well, i'm the drifter
D
Who solved the answer
    G
And when i found you
  D
I knew for ever
D
Would be for ever
D
And not for some time
G
  And you'd be mine
D                A      D
Won't have to be trying alone

Chorus:
D
Now i sing like a dreamer
D
And i walk like i'm flying
  G
I looked in your eyes
          A
There was no use denying
    D
You cared for that moment
D
And i knew the answer
  G
I came for a while
      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life

Bridge:
  G
I came for a while
      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life
  G
I came for a while
      A                         D
And i stayed for the rest of my life

Outro:
D
Well, i was the drifter
D
And i walked the highways
  G
I crossed every river
     D              A
That rolled on forgotten
  D
I sang for the living
D
And lived for the trying
  G          Em
I came for a while
      A                      D
And i stayed for the rest of my life
