G# D# Well there's a river that runs through Glasgow Cm G# D# And it makes her but it breaks her and takes her in two parts G# Cm D# And her current just like my blood flows G# A# D# Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart Chorus: G# D# A# Well I would swim but the river is so wide. And, G# D# A# I'm scared I won't make it to the other side. Well, G# D# A# D# God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried G# D# A# I long for something that's safe and warm. But, G# D# A# All I have is all that is gone G# D# A# D# I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde On one side all the lights glow And the folks know and the kids go Where the music and the drinking starts On the other side where no cars go Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart Chorus: Well I would swim but the river is so wide And I’m scared I won’t make it to the other side Well, God knows I’ve failed but He knows that I’ve tried I long for something that’s safe and warm But all I have is all that is gone I’m as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde The sun sets late in Glasgow And the daylight and the city part And I think of you in Glasgow Cause you’re all that’s safe You’re all that’s warm in my restless heart You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# Cm D# G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
