CAPO 2. FRET

INTRO: ^{C G F Am} ^CThere's a place, where I've been told, ^FEvery street is paved with ^Cgold. And it's ^Cjust across the border ^Gline ^CAnd when it's time to take your turn, ^FHere's one lesson that you must learn You could ^Close more than you'll ^Gever hope to ^Cfind.

^CWhen you ^Freach the broken ^Gpromise land, ^FAnd every dream slips ^Cthrough your hands, Then you'll know that it's too late to change your ^Gmind. ^C'Cause you've ^Fpaid the price to ^Gcome so far, ^FJust to wind up ^Cwhere you are And you're still just a^Gcross the border ^Cline.

Up and down the Rio Grande, A thousand footprints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define . The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death; Tell me, who's the next to cross the borderline

^CEn la triste os ^Gcuri ^Cdad (In the sad darkness) hoy tenemos ^Fque cruzar (today we have to cross) ^Ceste río que nos ^Gllama más ^Callá (this river which calls us further away)

^CBut hope remains when ^Gpride is ^Cgone And it keeps you ^Fmoving on - ^CCalling you a ^Gcross the border ^Cline.

When you reach the broken promised land, Every dream slips through your hands, And you'll know it's too late to change your mind. 'Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Now you're still just across the borderline And you're still just across the borderline
