When the River Meets the Sea

 	This song is sung by John Denver and the Muppets on their Christmas
album so I've always associated it with the Holidays.

 -4   <4   6 6     6 <-6    6  <7<7
When the mountain touches the valley

<7  <-6   6    <-5   6    <-5 <4
All the clouds are taught to fly

-4  <4   6    6     <-6  <7   -8   <8   <8 <7 -8
As our souls will leave this land most peacefully

  <7   -8   -8   <7  <7     <-6  <-6 <7
Though our minds be filled with questions

<-6 <7  -7      -8    -7 <7 <-6
In our hearts, we'll understand

 6   <-6  <7<7  -8    <7  6
When the river meets the sea


Like a flower that has blossomed
In dry and barren sand
We are born and born again most gracefully


Plus the winds of time will take us
With a sure and steady hand
When the river meets the sea

 -7  -7   -8  <8 <8   -7  -8 <7   <-6  6
Patience, my brothers and patience, my son

<3  <3   <-6  <-6  <-6<-6  -7
In that sweet and  final  hour

 <7    -7  -8 -8   <8  <7  -8
Truth and justice will be done

 <7 <-6  6 6   6   <-6 <7  -8 -8
Like a   baby when  it is sleeping

-8  -8  -7-8   -7 <7   <-6
In its loving mother's arms

 -4  <4   6 6   <-6<7   -8    -8 -8 <8<7-8
What a  newborn  baby dreams, is  a mystery

 <7  -8  -8   <7   <7  <-6 <-6 <7
But his life will find  a  purpose

<-6 <7  -7    -8    -7 <7 <-6
And in time, he'll understand

 6   <-6  <7<7  -8   <7   6
When the river meets the sea

 6   <-6  <7<7  -8   <-6  -7<7<-6  6
When the river meets the almighty sea
