When The River Meets The Sea chords by John Denver

D                             D7
 When the mountain touches the valley, all the
      G
 clouds are taught to fly. So
        D                           A           A7
our souls will leave this land most peacefully.
            D
Though our minds be filled
                        G
with questions, in our hearts, we'll understand.
           D.   A.        G. D
 When the river meets the sea.

             D           D7                 G
 Like a flower that has blossomed, in the dry and
                     D
 barron sand. We are born,
                      A                 D
and born again most gracefully. Thus the winds of
 time will take us with a
G                              D-      A
sure and steady hand. When the river meets the
G.    D
 sea.

 G                         D
 Patience my brothers, and patience my sons. In
        E.                             A
 that sweet and final hour,truth and justice will be done!

 D                       D7              G                           D
 Like a baby when it is sleeping in its loving mothers arms. What a new born
                 A       A7           D
baby dreams is a mystery. But in his life, he'll find the purpose, and in
G                                D     A         G D D A
time, he'll understand. When the river meets the sea.  When the river meets
    G  D  A    G D
the almighty sea
