C                     G7        C 
There's a place where I've been told 

F               G7         C 
Every street is paved with gold 

              Am                G7 
And it's just across the border line 

C                     G7        C 
And when it's time to take your turn 

                     F        Dm 
Here's a lesson that you must learn 

C                   G7               C 
You could lose more than you'll ever find 


         Am        G7     C 
When you reach the broken promised land 

F         C 
And every dream slips through your hands 

                               Am                  G7 
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind 

      F               G7       C 
Cause you've paid the price to come so far 

F       G7      Am 
Just to wind up where you are 

           C     G7                     C 
And you're still just across the border line 


                G7  C 
Up and down the Rio Grande 

F                     G7     C 
A thousand footprints in the sand 

                Am           G7 
Reveal a secret no one can define 

C                  G7     C 
The river flows on like a breath 

               F        Dm 
In between our life and death 

C                 G7              C 
Who's the next to cross the borderline 


             G7            C 
Hope remains when pride is gone  

                 F      Dm 
And it keeps you moving on 

C           G7               C 
Calling you across the borderline 


         Am        G7     C 
When you reach the broken promised land 

F         C 
And every dream slips through your hands 

                               Am                  G7 
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind 

      F               G7       C 
Cause you've paid the price to come so far 

F       G7      Am 
Just to wind up where you are 

           C     G7                     C 
And you're still just across the border line 


Am         C     G7                     C 
And you're still just across the border line 


      F               G7       C 
Cause you've paid the price to come so far 

F       G7      Am 
Just to wind up where you are 

           C     G7                     C 
And you're still just across the border line 

Am         C     G7                     C 
And you're still just across the border line
