THE RIVER - Meredith Andrews
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
Again a piano song, but it can be picked quite nicely on guitar as well.
The same pattern is used here and there in the song, so when you get it
going you'll pretty much know the whole song. Have fun.
