       C                   C                       G        G
    Well there's a river that runs through Glasgow
    Em                              C                  G      G
And makes her but it breaks her and takes her into the parks
       C            C                D*        Em     G
           And her current just like my blood flows
               C                   D*                   G       G
Down from the hills, round aching bones to my restless heart

[Chorus 1]
 
C                           G           D
 Well I would swim but the river is so wide
       C                G             D
And I'm scared I won't make it to the other side
    C                G             D               G     G
Well God knows I've failed but He knows that I've tried
C                             G        D
 I long for something that's safe and warm
C                  G            D
 But all I have is all that is gone
C                        G             D              G     G
 I'm as helpless and as hopeless as a feather on the Clyde

C          C                        G        G
   Well on one side all the lights glow

And the folks know and the kids go where the music and the drinking starts
C          C                D*       Em     G
    On the other side where no cars go
           C                 D*                    G       G
Up to the hills that stand alone like my restless heart

I have been playing this a lot recently and I find it it much easier to play the intro part, and in the rest of the song when you have 5th fret 5th string I play 4th string open, which is the same note.
