capo 1st fret


C There's a place where I've been told
F G C C Every street is paved with gold
C Am G And it's just across the borderline
C And when it's time to take your turn
C F Dm Here's one lesson that you must learn
C[/G] G CYou could lose more than you'll ever hope to find
F/C G/C F/C CWhen you reach the bro-ken promised land
F C And every dream slips through your hands
C Am GThen you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
F/C G/C F/C C'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F G G#dim Am F Just to wind up where you are
C[/G] G CAnd you're still just across the borderline
C Up and down the Rio Grande
F G C C A thousand footprints in the sand
C Am G Reveal a secret no one can define
C The river flows on like a breath
C F Dm In between our life and death
C[/G] G CTell me who's the next to cross the borderline
F/C G/C F/C CWhen you reach the bro-ken promised land
F C And every dream slips through your hands
C Am GThen you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
F/C G/C F/C C'Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F G G#dim Am F Just to wind up where you are
C[/G] G CAnd you're still just across the borderline
