Across The Borderline

Intro: 1 2 1 2 3 4 C 2 3 4 G 2 3 4

C 2 3 4 C 2 3 4 1
C G C
There's a land so I've been told
F
Every street is paved with gold

C Am G
And it's just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1

C G C
And when it's time to take your turn
F
There's one lesson that you must learn
C G C
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find 2 3 4 1 2 3
F Em C
When you reach the broken promised land
F C Am
When every dream slips through your hands
C Am G
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
F Em C
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
F C
Just to wind up where you are
Am G C
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

C G C
Up and down the Rio Grande
F
A thousand footprints in the sand
C Am G
Reveal a secret no one can de-fine 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1
C G C
The river flows on like a breath
F
In between our life and death
C G C
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline 2 3 4 1 2 3

F Em C
When you reach the broken promised land
F C Am
When every dream slips through your hands
C Am G
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
F Em C
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
F C
Just to wind up where you are
Am G C
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3

F Em C
When you reach the broken promised land
F C Am
When every dream slips through your hands
C Am G
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
F Em C
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far

Just to wind up where you are
Am G C
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 C 2 3

And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 C 2 3 4 C
