Across The Borderline - Willy DeVille

Intro: E MajorE  B7B7 E MajorE E MajorE

E MajorE         B7B7    E MajorE              D MajorD      A augmentedA
There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold
     E MajorE            B7B7
And it's just across the border line
  E MajorE         B7B7    E MajorE             D MajorD    A augmentedA
And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn
     E MajorE         B7B7        E MajorE
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find

     A augmentedA          E MajorE
And when you reach the broken promised land
A augmentedA            E MajorE
And all your dream slips through your hands
    E MajorE                 B7B7
And you know it's too late to change your mind
        A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
      E MajorE       B7B7        E MajorE
And you're still just across the border line

  Instrumental as per first verse

     A augmentedA          E MajorE
And when you reach the broken promised land
A augmentedA            E MajorE
And all your dream slips through your hands
    E MajorE                 B7B7
And you know it's too late to change your mind
        A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
      E MajorE      B7B7        E MajorE
And you're still just across the border line

E MajorE        B7B7 E MajorE              D MajorD   A augmentedA
Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand
E MajorE              B7B7
Reveal a secret no one can define
E MajorE         B7B7   E MajorE           D MajorD     A augmentedA
The river flows on like a breath in between are life and death
    E MajorE         B7B7        E MajorE
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

       A augmentedA        E MajorE
And when you reach the broken promised land
A augmentedA            E MajorE
And all your dream slips through your hands
      E MajorE                 B7B7
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
        A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
      E MajorE      B7B7        E MajorE
And you're still just across the border line
      E MajorE      B7B7        E MajorE
And you're still just across the border line
    E MajorE       B7B7        E MajorE
Tell me who's next to cross the border line
