Feather On The Clyde chords
Passenger (from the album All The Little Lights)

Capo I *

D G Bm D G 2x

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

D G

   G          D      A
Well, I would swim but the river is so wide
G       D       A
Scared I won t make it to the other side
G          D
God knows that I ve failed,
    Bm       G
But he knows that I ve tried

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

G A D G G Bm G D

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

   G          D      A
But, I would swim but the river is so wide
G       D       A
Scared I won t make it to the other side
G          D
God knows that I ve failed,
    Bm       G
But he knows that I ve tried

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

G A D G G Bm G D    2x

  D        G
The sun sets late in Glasgow
             Bm  G
The daylight and the city part
           Bm
And I think of you in Glasgow
      G   Bm     G
Your always safe, your always home

Bm     G
My restless heart. . . .
