Intro:  C G  
                   
              
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         
  
    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    
         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    
              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       
                                         
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          
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   
  
         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    
              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    

         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    
              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   
           Am           G                C                     
And you're still just a-cross the border line
