VERSE 1
C                C                       G  G
  Well there's a river that runs through Glasgow
       Em                              C                G  G
And it makes her but it breaks her and takes her in two parts
C         C       (D*)              Em     G
  And her current just like my blood flows
              C                   D*                   G (C)  G
Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart
 
CHORUS
C                           G           (D)
  Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
C                    G              (D)
  I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
C                G             (D)             G  G
  God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
C                             G        (D)
  I long for something that's safe and warm. But,
C               G           (D)
  All I have is all that is gone
C                        G             (D)            G (C)  G
  I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde

VERSE 2
C         C                       G  G
  Well on one side all the lights glow
        Em                                    C                      G  G
And the folks know where the kids go when the music and the drinking starts
C        C          (D*)     Em     G
  On the other side where no cars go
          C                D*                     G (C)  G
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart
 
CHORUS
C                           G           (D)
  Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And,
C                    G              (D)
  I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well,
C                G             (D)             G  G
  God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
C                             G        (D)
  I long for something that's safe and warm. But,
C               G           (D)
  All I have is all that is gone
C                        G             (D)            G (C)  G
  I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde

VERSE 3
C          C                G  G
  Well the sun sets late in Glasgow
Em        C                     G  G
  And the daylight and the city part
C       C        (D*)   Em     G
  And I think of you in Glasgow
                      C                       D*                  G
Cos you're all that's safe, you're all that's warm in my restless heart
