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.
