  			Intro: E   B7  E  E      

E                  B7        E                           D           A   
There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold   
         E                       B7                       
And it's just across the border line    
    E                 B7        E                          D        A   
And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn   
          E                  B7               E                  
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find    

         A                    E                
And when you reach the broken promised land    
A                        E       
And all your dream slips through your hands    
        E                                 B7                   
And you know it's too late to change your mind    
               A                 E           A                E   
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are   
           E             B7               E                   
And you're still just across the border line    

   Instrumental as per first verse   

         A                    E                
And when you reach the broken promised land    
A                        E       
And all your dream slips through your hands    
        E                                 B7                   
And you know it's too late to change your mind    
               A                 E           A                E   
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are   
           E            B7               E                   
And you're still just across the border line    
                                        
E               B7  E                            D      A   
Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand   
E                            B7                       
Reveal a secret no one can define    
E                  B7     E                     D         A   
The river flows on like a breath in between are life and death   
        E                 B7               E                         
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline   
    
             A                E                
And when you reach the broken promised land    
A                        E                          
And all your dream slips through your hands    
            E                                 B7                  
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind    
               A                 E           A                E   
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are   
           E            B7               E                   
And you're still just across the border line    
           E            B7               E                   
And you're still just across the border line    
        E             B7               E                   
Tell me who's next to cross the border line
