Intro: D G Bm D G  (2x)   

G                                    A                  D 
Well, there s a river that runs through Glasgow  
       Bm              D  
And it makes up and it breaks up   
          G                       D        G 
And it takes her in two parts  
        G               A                 Bm            D 
And the current just like my blood flows  
D             G  
Down from the hills  
G                    A                               D          
Round aching bones to my restless heart  

D G  

G                                       D              A         G 
And I would swim but the river is so wide  
G                           D                    A                G 
I'm Scared I won t make it to the other side n' 
G                              D  
God knows that I've failed,  
           A                       D      D 
But he knows that I've tried  
G                                       D             A        G 
I long for something that s safe and warm  
G                           D         A       G 
But all I have is all that is gone  
G                                        D  
And I'm as helpless and as hopeless   
        A                    D  
As a feather on the Clyde  


G A D G  G Bm G  D G                                       


G                       A        D  
But on one side all the lights glow  
             Bm                             
and the folks know where the kids go   
              G                                   D         G 
when the music and the drinking starts  
G                        A             Bm         D  
On the other side where no cars go  
D             G                       A  
Up to the hills that stand alone  
                          D  
Like my restless heart  

     G                    D           A     G                                       D              A         G 
And I would swim but the river is so wide  
G                           D                    A                G 
I'm Scared I won t make it to the other side n' 
G                              D  
God knows that I've failed,  
           A                       D      D 
But he knows that I've tried  
G                                       D             A        G 
I long for something that s safe and warm  
G                           D         A       G 
But all I have is all that is gone  
G                                        D  
And I'm as helpless and as hopeless   
        A                    D  
As a feather on the Clyde

    D                G  
The sun sets late in Glasgow  
                          Bm   G  
The daylight and the city part  
                      Bm  
And I think of you in Glasgow  
            G     Bm          G  
Your always safe, your always home  

Bm          G
