C                   G6           
I want to reach out over the Loch

Am                               F
   And feel your hand across the water

C                      G6
Walk with you along an unapproved road

Am                     F
   Not looking over my shoulder

C                  G6
  I wanna see, and I wanna hear

Am            F       
    To under- stand your fears

          C         G6           Am       F
But we're north and south of the river

          C              G6
I've been doing it wrong all of my life

Am                              F
   This holy town has turned me over

            C                           G6
A young man running from what he didn't understand

          Am                          F
While the wind from the Loch just get colder, colder

C                           G6
   There was a badness that had its way

Am                      F
  But love wasn't lost, love will have its day

C         G6           Am       F
North and south of the river

                        C      G6     Am     F
North and south of the river

C                           G6
   Can we stop playing this old tattoo

Am                         F
  Darling I don't have the answer

C                  G6
  I wanna meet you where you are

Am                   F
  I don't need ya to surrender

                  C                 G6
'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone

            Am                 F
When when the one you're hurting is your own

C         G6           Am      F
North and south of the river

                       C      G6     
North and south of the river 

                       Am     F
North and south of the river

C                     G6
  Some high ground is not worth taking

Am                 F
  Some connections are not worth making

C                      G6
  This old church bell no longer ringing

Am                   F
  Some old songs are not worth bringing

C              G6          Am             F
North... / Higher ground is not worth taking
