North and south of the river

	  		
C                   G 
I want to reach out over the Loch 
Am                               F 
   And feel your hand across the water 
C                      G 
Walk with you along an unapproved road 
Am                     F 
   Not looking over my shoulder 

C                  G 
  I wanna see, and I wanna hear 
Am            F 
    To under- stand your fears 
          C         G            Am       F 
But we're north and south of the river 

          C              G 
I've been doing it wrong all of my life 
Am                              F 
   This holy town has turned me over 
            C                           G 
A young man running from what he didn't understand 
          Am                          F 
While the wind from the Loch just get colder, colder 

C                           G 
   There was a badness that had its way 
Am                      F 
  But love wasn't lost, love will have its day 
C         G            Am       F 
North and south of the river 
                        C      G      Am     F 
North and south of the river 

C                           G 
   Can we stop playing this old tattoo 
Am                         F 
  Darling I don't have the answer 
C                  G 
  I wanna meet you where you are 
Am                   F 
  I don't need ya to surrender 

                  C                 G 
'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone 
            Am                 F 
When when the one you're hurting is your own 
C         G            Am      F 
North and south of the river 
                       C      G 
North and south of the river 
                       Am     F 
North and south of the river 

C                     G 
  Some high ground is not worth taking 
Am                 F 
  Some connections are not worth making 
C                      G 
  This old church bell no longer ringing 
Am                   F 
  Some old songs are not worth bringing 
C              G           Am             F 
North... / Higher ground is not worth taking
