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
