Judy Collins - Miracle River
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
They say that when you get there
C
That's when the real magic starts
G
Go through the plains of desire
C
Past the waterfall of sparks
Em
Ten thousand burning deserts
G Am
Will weed the taker from the giver
C
But it's less about arriving
D C G
Than the journey to miracle river
[Verse 2]
Some live for the sparkle of the water
C
That will heal their aching souls
G
Turn back the restless hands of time
C
And make their broken spirits whole
Em
But sometimes promises of love are sweeter
G Am
Than the visions they deliver
C
So bless the good with the bad
D C G
On the journey to miracle river
[Chorus]
Em B7
When you're finally free, you will see
Em D Em
The diamond's a child of the mind
G B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate
Em
It was in your heart all the time
C B7
When you finally reach your destination
Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
C
For all the crosses and the blessings
D C
On the journey to miracle river
[Verse 3]
G
Every heartbeat is a piece in the puzzle
C
We're all here to solve
G
You can face it or just turn away
C
But either way one day you'll see it all
Em
Oh, winding in the distance
G Am
Like shimmering molten silver
C
It will wash away the shadows
D C G
Of your journey to miracle river
[Chorus]
Em B7
When you're finally free, you will see
Em D Em
The diamond's a child of the mind
G B7
Not just a prize you saved from the jaws of fate
Em
It was in your heart all the time
C B7
When you finally reach your destination
Em
Fall down on your knees and thank your maker
C
For all the crosses and the blessings
D C
On the journey to miracle river
C
For all the loves and the losses
D C
On the journey to miracle river
