D                    A         D 

There's a place, so I've been told 

 G                 A          D 

Every street is paved with gold 

         Bm        G            A 

And it's just across the borderline 

 D                      A        D 

And when it's time to take your turn 

 G                     A         D 

There's a lesson that you must learn 

          D                     A            D 

You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find 

  



               G           A              D 

And when you reach that broken promised land 

                G           A          D 

And all your dreams slip though your hand 

            Bm                     G           A 

You have learned it's too late to change your mind 

          G           A             D 

Cause you pay the price to come so far 

    G       A              D 

Just to wind up where you are 

        D                 A             D 

And you're still just across the borderline 

  



D                A      D 

Up and down The Rio Grande 

G                      A       D 

A thousand foot prints in the sand 

           Bm                A 

Reveal a secret no one can define 

 D                   A       D 

The river rolls on like a breath 

 G                A        D 

In between our life and death 

        D                 A              D 

Tell me who is next to cross that borderline 

  


              G             A            D 

And when you reach that broken promised land 

              G              A        D 

And all your dreams slip though your hand 

         Bm                    G          A 

You'll know it's too late to change your mind 

           G          A             D 

Cause you pay the price to come so far 

         G         A       D 

Just to wind up where you are 

            D           A           D 

And you're still just across the borderline
