[Bm]
[D] As [Bm] the first bend [D] in the river Is [Bm] another bend I [Em] can't see
[A]
[Em] And the bend [A] that [Em] keeps calling [A] Is [Em] the bend [F#m] that keeps [A] hiding
[D] from me
Past [Bm] the first hill on [D] the desert Is [Bm] another hill [B] I [Em] can't see
[A]
[Em] And the hill that [Em] keeps hiding [A] Is [Em] the hill that keeps [G] calling [D] to me
In [Bm] the cottonwood [F#m] by the river [G] A morning dove [D] calls his mate
He [Bm] has true [C#] [F#] love to give [F#m] her [Em] But love for me [Em]
[A] must wait
Till [Bm] I've traveled [D] every river And [Bm] each desert hill I [Em] have climbed
[A] If [Em] I find [A] love to [Em] my liking [A] I'll [Em] leave the [F#m] river's bend far [D] behind
[Bm] [D] [Bm]
