North And South Of The River

4  4    4  5     5
I want to reach out
-4-4  4    -4
Over the lock
-4   -4   4    -4   4 -4   4  5  4
And feel your hand across the water
5     5    5   5 -5  5  5 -4  4     -4
Walk with you along an unapproved road
-4   -4  -4 -4-4 4  5 4
Not looking over my shoulder
5  5 4   5 
I wanna see
-4 -4 -4 4  -4
And I wanna hear 
5  5 5  5      -4    4
To understand your fears
3    3     5     4    -4   4  -4  5 4 
But we're north and south of the river



4    4    5  5   5  5
I've been doing it wrong 
-4  -4 4   -4 
all of my life
-4   -4   4    -4  4  -4  4  5 4
This holy town has turned me over
5 5   5   5   5    5   -5  5  5 -4   4 -4 5
A man on the run from what he didn't understand                
4   -4  5   -4   4    -4
As the wind from the Loch 
  4    -4  5 4    -4  5  4
just blew colder and colder
5      5  4  5 5    -4   -4  4   -4
There was a badness that had its way
5    5  4   5      5  5   -4   4  4 
Love wasn't lost, it just got mislaid
5     4    -4   4  -4  5 4 
North and south of the river
-5     5    -4   4  -4  5 4
North and south of the river



 5  5   4    5   5   -4   -4   4 -4 
Can we stop playing these old tattoos
-4  -4  4  -4    -4    4   5 4
Darling I don't have the answer
5  5    4  5    5   -4    4   -4
I want to meet you where you are
-4  4    -4   4  -4  4 5  4
I don't need you to surrender
 5     5  4  5   5  -4  4 -4 
There is no feeling so alone
4   4    -4   5   5      5   5  -4  4    4
As when the one you're hurting is your own
5      4   -4   4  -4   5 4
North and south of the river



5      5    5     4  -4  4     5 4
Some high ground is not worth taking
5    5    5  5  5     4   -4   4   5  4
And some connections are not worth making
4        4  5   5     5    -4  -4 4  5  4
There's an old church bell no longer ringin
4    5    5   5     4   -4  4    5  4
And some old songs are not worth singing
5      4   -4   4  -4   5 4
North and south of the river
-5     5    -4   4  -4  5 4
North and south of the river
