Across The Borderline

 
                D                    A         D 
 
There's a place, so I've been told 
 
 G                 A          D 
 
Every street is paved with gold 
 
         Bm        G            A 
 
And it's just across the borderline 
 
 D                      A        D 
 
And when it's time to take your turn 
 
 G                     A         D 
 
There's a lesson that you must learn 
 
          D                     A            D 
 
You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find 
 
  
 
 
 
               G           A              D 
 
And when you reach that broken promised land 
 
                G           A          D 
 
And all your dreams slip though your hand 
 
            Bm                     G           A 
 
You have learned it's too late to change your mind 
 
          G           A             D 
 
Cause you pay the price to come so far 
 
    G       A              D 
 
Just to wind up where you are 
 
        D                 A             D 
 
And you're still just across the borderline 
 
  
 
 
 
D                A      D 
 
Up and down The Rio Grande 
 
G                      A       D 
 
A thousand foot prints in the sand 
 
           Bm                A 
 
Reveal a secret no one can define 
 
 D                   A       D 
 
The river rolls on like a breath 
 
 G                A        D 
 
In between our life and death 
 
        D                 A              D 
 
Tell me who is next to cross that borderline 
 
  
 
 
              G             A            D 
 
And when you reach that broken promised land 
 
              G              A        D 
 
And all your dreams slip though your hand 
 
         Bm                    G          A 
 
You'll know it's too late to change your mind 
 
           G          A             D 
 
Cause you pay the price to come so far 
 
         G         A       D 
 
Just to wind up where you are 
 
            D           A           D 
 
And you're still just across the borderline
