North and South of the River Christy Moore
(Live)
Seein Christy Moore playing it at the point this is how he plays it
North and South of the river
capo first fret
intro G,D,C x2
I want to [G]reach out ove[D]r the loch
[C]And feel your hand across the water
Wa[G]lk with you along an u[D]napproved road
[C]Not lookin' over my shoulder
[G]I want to see, I [D]want to hear, to unde[Em]rstand your f[C]ear.
But we're [G]north and [D]south of the [C]river
I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over.
A man on the run from what he didn't understand
As the wind from the Lough blew colder and colder.
There was a badness that had it's way,
Love was not lost it just got mislaid.
[G]North and [D]south of the [C]river.
North and south of t[G]he river.
Can we stop playing these old tattoos,
Darling I don't have the answer.
I want to meet you where you are,
I don't need you to surrender.
There is no feeling so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own.
[G]North and [D]south of the [C]river.
Som[G]e high ground is [D]not worth taking,
So[Em]me connections are [C]not worth making.
There's an o[G]ld church bell no lo[D]nger ringing,
And some [Em]old songs are not [C]worth singing.
[G]North and [D]south of the [C]river.
North and south of t[G]he river.
Repeat x 4
