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
