There's a place where I've been told
A B E E
Every street is paved with gold
E C#m B
And it's just across the borderline
E
And when it's time to take your turn
E A F#m
Here's one lesson that you must learn
E/B B E
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
A/E B/E A/E E
When you reach the bro-ken promised land
A E
And every dream slips through your hands
E C#m B
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
A/E B/E A/E E
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
A B Cdim C#m A
Just to wind up where you are
E/B B E
And you're still just across the borderline
E
Up and down the Rio Grande
A B E E
A thousand footprints in the sand
E C#m B
Reveal a secret no one can define
E
The river flows on like a breath
E A F#m
In between our life and death
E/B B E
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
A/E B/E A/E E
When you reach the bro-ken promised land
A E
And every dream slips through your hands
E C#m B
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
A/E B/E A/E E
'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
A B Cdim C#m A
Just to wind up where you are
E/B B E
And you're still just across the borderline
