Tom: G

G       D               G               C                       D
Where the forest meets the plain, where the desert meets the rain
        G       D         G     C       G   D      G
Where the river meets the sea, you and me, you and me

[Chorus]
        D               G               G
Liyarn ngarn, oh we’ve got to make a start
                D                       G
Liyarn ngarn, ‘cause we’ve been too far apart
        C       D
Liyarn ngarn, liyarn ngarn
                        G
Mend all these broken hearts

[Verse 2]
G           D           G               C               D
Life is sour, life is sweet, and our stories seldom meet
        G       D          G    C       G       D       G
But I believe the time has come - to be one, to be one

[Chorus]
        D               G               G
Liyarn ngarn, oh we’ve got to make a start
                D                       G
Liyarn ngarn, ‘cause we’ve been too far apart
        C       D
Liyarn ngarn, liyarn ngarn
                        G
Mend all these broken hearts

[Bridge]
Em                      D
We are all born of different skin
        Em                      D
But it doesn’t matter if we can begin...
C               G       D       G
To celebrate life and all that means
C                               D
And we must not be afraid to live our dreams
G    D        G      C  G       D               G
Come together everyone, where the moon meets the sun

[Chorus]
        D               G               G
Liyarn ngarn, oh we’ve got to make a start
                D                       G
Liyarn ngarn, ‘cause we’ve been too far apart
        C       D
Liyarn ngarn, liyarn ngarn
                        G
Mend all these broken hearts

[Outro]
C       G
Liyarn ngarn
