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
