Plucking pattern for the intro is continued throughout the whole song, but he adds
a few different variations in in different live performances i've seen.
VERSE
CThere is a river that runs through GGlasgow,
And he Emmakes her and he breaks her and he Ctakes her into paGrts. C
And a current justC2 like my Emblood flows, G
Down from the Chills, round aching C2bones to my restless Gheart.
CHORUS
CWell I would swim but the Griver is soD wide and i’m,
CScared I won’t Gmake it to the Dother side and well,
CGod knows I’ve Gfailed but he Dknows that I’ve triedG.
CI long for something that’sG safe and Dwarm,
CThat all I have is Gall that is Dgone
CI was as helpless and as Ghopeless as a DFeather on the ClydGe.
VERSE 2
And on one side all the lights glow,
And the folks know where the kids go when the music and the drinking starts.
And on the other side where no cars go,
Up to the hills, and round aching bones to 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 and 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 was as helpless and as hopeless as a Feather on the Clyde, oh no.
VERSE 3
And the sun sets late in Glasgow,
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, my restless heart.
Hope you enjoy learning this fantastic song!
