There's a land so I've been told

Every street is paved with gold
     G+G
And it's just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1

And when it's time to take your turn
FF
There's one lesson that you must learn
     C majorC
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find 2 3 4 1 2 3

Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3

'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
C majorC
Just to wind up where you are
      C majorC
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

C majorC
Up and down the Rio Grande
FF
A augmentedA thousand footprints in the sand

Reveal a secret no one can de-fine 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1

The river flows on like a breath
FF
In between our life and death
    C majorC
