[Verse]
C There's a place where GI've been Ctold
F Every street is Gpaved Cwith Cgold
C And it's just aAmcross the borderGline
C And when it's time to Gtake your Cturn
C Here's one lesson that Fyou must Dmlearn
You could C/Glose more than you'll Gever hope to Cfind
[Chorus]
When you F/Creach the G/Cbro-F/Cken Cpromised land
F And every dream slips Cthrough your hands
Then you'll Cknow that it's too Amlate to change your Gmind
'Cause you've Fpaid the Gprice to Ccome so far
F Just to Gwind G#dimup Amwhere you Fare
And you're C/Gstill just aGcross the borderCline
[Verse]
C Up and down the GRio CGrande
F A thousand footprints Gin Cthe Csand
C Reveal a secret Amno one can deGfine
C The river flows on Glike a Cbreath
C In between our Flife and Dmdeath
Tell me C/Gwho's the next to Gcross the borderCline
