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.

VERSE1 (continue picking as above)
Am G C Fmaj7
Everyone is broken and in need of a Saviour

We can’t see that were filthy, we’re fallen and so dry...

But He invites us, can you hear him say
G Am7 C F
He invites us, hear Him call your name
