                D5                       G5 
Well, there s a river that runs through Glasgow
       B5              D5
And it makes up and it breaks up 
       G5                D5
And it takes her in two parts
        G5                    D5           B5
And the current just like my blood flows
              G5
Down from the hills
B5           G5                    D5        
Round aching bones to my restless heart

      G5                    D5           A5    
Well, I would swim but the river is so wide
G5              D5              A5
Scared I won t make it to the other side
G5                   D5
God knows that I ve failed,
       B5              G5
But he knows that I ve tried

  G5                         D5        A5
I long for something that s safe and warm
    G5                D5        A5
But all I have is so often is gone
         G5                 D5
And it s helpless and it s hopeless 
     A5              D5
As a feather on the Clyde

G5 A5 D5 G5  G5 B5 G5  D5

       G5                D5
But on one side all the lights glow
        B5                  D5
and the folks know when the kids go 
        G5                      D5
And the music and the drinking starts
       G5                        D5
On the other side where no cars go
          G5                 B5
Up to the hills that stand alone
        G5        D5
Like my restless heart

     G5                    D5           A5    
But, I would swim but the river is so wide
G5              D5              A5
Scared I won t make it to the other side
G5                   D5
God knows that I ve failed,
       B5              G5
But he knows that I ve tried

  G5                         D5        A5
I long for something that s safe and warm
    G5                D5        A5
But all I have is so often is gone
         G5                 D5
And it s helpless and it s hopeless 
     A5              D5
As a feather on the Clyde

G5 A5 D5 G5  G5 B5 G5  D5       2x

    D5                G5
The sun sets late in Glasgow
                          B5   G5
The daylight and the city part
                      B5
And I think of you in Glasgow
            G5     B5          G5
Your always safe, your always home

B5          G5
My restless heart. . . .
