North And South Lyrics And Chords

Christy credits Bono and The Edge with giving a dig out with the writing of this song, nice bit of guitar playing here from Declan Synott. To play along with Christy in the live version of his youtube video then use the first set of guitar chords I have given in the key of G.

I[G] want to reach out[D] over the Loch 
And[C] feel your hand across the water 
[G]Walk with you along an[D] unapproved road 
Not[C] looking over my shoulder 
I[G] wanna see,[D] and I wanna[Em] hear 
To under[C]stand your fears 
But [G]we're[D] north and[C] south of the river 
 
I've been doing it wrong all of my life 
This holy town has turned me over 
A young man running from what he didn't understand 
While the wind from the Loch just get colder, colder 
There was a badness that had its way 
But love wasn't lost, love will have its day 
North and south of the river 
North and south of the river 
 
Can we stop playing this old tattoo 
Darling I don't have the answer 
I wanna meet you where you are 
I don't need ya to surrender 
'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone 
As when the one you're hurting is your own 
North and south of the river 
North and south of the river 
North and south of the river 
 
Some high ground is not worth taking 
Some connections are not worth making 
This old church bell no longer ringing 
Some old songs are not worth bringing 
North... / Higher ground is not worth taking 

Here's the chords in the key of D [ Remember that the first set of chords above are in the key of the Christy version ]

I[D] want to reach out[A] over the Loch 
And[G] feel your hand across the water 
[D]Walk with you along an[A] unapproved road 
Not[G] looking over my shoulder 
I[D] wanna see,[A] and I wanna[Bm] hear 
To under[G]stand your fears 
But [D]we're[A] north and[G] south of the river
