Christy Moore – North And South Of The River (Guitar)

             G            D
   I want to reach out over the loch

   C
   And feel your hand across the water

     G                     D
   Walk with you along an unapproved road

   C
   Not lookin' over my shoulder

   G                D                    Em           C
   I want to see, I want to hear, to understand your fear.

             G         D            C
   But we're north and south of the river

             G            D
   I've been doing it wrong all of my life

   C
   This holy town has turned me over.

     G                            D
   A man on the run from what he didn't understand

   C
   As the wind from the Lough blew colder and colder.

   G                    D                    
   There was a badness that had it's way,

   Em                   C
   Love was not lost it just got mislaid.

   G         D            C
   North and south of the river.

                       G
   North and south of the river.

             G            D 
   Can we stop playing these old tattoos,

   C
   Darling I don't have the answer.

     G                     D
   I want to meet you where you are,

   C                    
   I don't need you to surrender.

   G                D                    
   There is no feeling so alone

               Em                 C
   As when the one you're hurting is your own.

   G         D            C
   North and south of the river.

      G                D
   Some high ground is not worth taking,

     Em                 C
   Some connections are not worth making.

               G                   D
   There's an old church bell no longer ringing,

            Em                C
   And some old songs are not worth singing.

   G         D            C
   North and south of the river.

                       G
   North and south of the river.
