C                   G
I want to reach out over the lough
F
Feel your hand across the water
C                      G
Walk with you along an unapproved road
F
Not looking over my shoulder
C                G            Am
I wanna see, and I wanna hear
        F
To understand your fear
          C         G            F
But we're north and south of the river


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


C                      G
Can we stop playing these old tattoo's
F
Darling I don't have the answer
C                G
I wanna meet you where you are
F
I don't need ya to surrender
C                   G          
There is no feeling so alone
            Am                 F
As when the one you're hurting is your own
C         G            F
North and south of the river



        C                   G
There's some high ground is not worth taking
Am                       F
And some connections are not worth making
C                      G
The old church bell no longer ringing
Am                     F
And some old songs are not worth bringing
C         G            F
North and south of the river
   C      G            F
North and south of the river
