Across The Borderline (Ry Cooder, J L Dickinson and John R. Hiatt)
C
TChere's a place, where I've been told,G every strAmeet is Fpaved with gold G7
And it's just acCross the Amborderline. G
And when it'sC time to take your turnG here?s Ama lesson Fthat you must learn: G
You could lose more tChan you'll ever hope to find. G C
When you reaFch the broken pG7romised lCand, Am
Every Fdream slips through your handsC, Am
Then you'll know that iCt?s too late to changeAm your mind,C G
'Cause you've paid the price to coFme so far G7 C Am
Just to wind up whFere you are, C Am
And you're still jusCt across the boGrderline. G7 C
Up Cand down the Rio Grande Ga thousanAmd footprinFts in the sand G
Reveal the secrets no oCne can deAmfine. G
The river flCows on like a breaGth in Ambetween Four life and death. G
Tell me, who?s the Cnext to cross the borderlGine? C
(Instrumental break: verse)
En la tCriste oscuridad G hAmoy tenemoFs que cruzar G
Este rio queC los llama mas, Ammas alla.* G
But hope remCains when pride is gone aGnd it keeAmps you mFoving on G
Farther Cacross theG borderline. C
And when you reachF the broken proG7mised lanCd, Am
Every Fdream slips through your handCs, Am
Then you'll know it?s tCoo late to changAme your mindC, G
'Cause you've paid the price to cFome so far G7 C Am
Just to wind Fup where you are, C Am
And you're still jusCt across the boGrderline. G7 C
Now you're still justC across the boGrderline. G7 C
*In the grim darkness now we have come to cross this river which calls us us farther, farther beyond.

Ry Cooder for the soundtrack to Paris Texas.
I know the tab part is not 100%, but sounds pretty ok'ish,
think of it as a base to start on, or to leave out.
As always, any mistakes are mine, if you spot some, let me
know and I'll sort it out.
And don't forget to stick your CAPO on the SECOND FRET
And if you, like this, use this, copy this, hate this,
take time to ** RATE THIS **
Thanks, flatwound

So go on home girl, let's call it a night
You better go Bhome girl, this just ain't Eright
But before you go I want you to know
That I love E7you, yes I Ado
And though it breaks my heart for Eus to part
Still I Bknow Frank loves you Etoo
EWell, you say that a we can make him see
We have a love that's really Breal
But I think that he is just like me
And I don't know just how he'd Efeel
Darling, people know it would hurt him so
If you told E7him that it must Aend
And I could never hold the Elove I stole
From a Bman I call my best Efriend
Go on Bhome girl, you better go Ehome, girl
Go on Bhome, you better mEove on
EMe and Frank been friends for so long
And our friendship is really Bstrong
He gives me his car to go for a ride
Never knows how long I'll be Egone
Well, I'm trying to forget all the things that we've done
While E7Frank is just a-waiting back Ahome

Last night while I was trying to sleep
I heard a racket from the room next door, hum
And that was you and your man havin' a fight
Like you've done so many nights before
"Woman, I'll turn you every which way but loose"
Is what I heard him shout, uh-oh, look out!
So I jumped out of the bed and I opened the door
Just as you came runnin' out
And I hollered: why don't you try me tonight ?
Why don't you try me ?
Why don't you try me tonight ?
Why don't you try me ?
I ain't saying I'm all that you need
And I won't tell you, honey, you will be free
But all night, well, I will keep trying
And when I say I want ya, girl, you know I'm not lyin'
You see a good woman out on the streets these days, friends
Ah, a bad old man can't be hard to find, no, no
Kind of man who'd steal your heart
And call true love a crime
That's why I keep asking ya, baby
Why don't you try me tonight ?
Do yourself a favor
Why don't you try me ?
Regular man ain't treatin' you right
Why don't you try a man like me tonight ?
Why don't you try me ?
Why don't you try a man like me tonight ?
Why don't you try me ?
