^D There's a place where ^AI've been ^Dtold ^G Every street is ^Apaved ^Dwith ^Dgold ^D And it's just a^Bmcross the border^Aline ^D And when it's time to ^Atake your ^Dturn ^D Here's one lesson that ^Gyou must ^Emlearn You could ^Dlose more than you'll ^Aever hope to ^Dfind

[Chorus]

When you ^Greach the ^Abro^Gken ^Dpromised land ^G And every dream slips ^Dthrough your hands Then you'll ^Dknow that it's too ^Bmlate to change your ^Amind 'Cause you've ^Gpaid the ^Aprice to ^Dcome so far ^G Just to ^Awind ^A#dimup ^Bmwhere you ^Gare And you're ^Dstill just a^Across the border^Dline

[Verse]

^D Up and down the ^ARio ^DGrande ^G A thousand footprints ^Ain ^Dthe ^Dsand ^D Reveal a secret ^Bmno one can de^Afine ^D The river flows on ^Alike a ^Dbreath ^D In between our ^Glife and ^Emdeath Tell me ^Dwho's the next to ^Across the border^Dline
