This is a Ry Cooder song but this is how Willy does it (DeVille that is, not Nelson)

Across The Borderline - Willy DeVille

Intro: E   B7  E  E

E                  B7        E                           D           A
There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold
         E                       B7
And it's just across the border line
    E                 B7        E                          D        A
And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn
          E                  B7               E
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find

         A                    E
And when you reach the broken promised land
A                        E
And all your dream slips through your hands
        E                                 B7
And you know it's too late to change your mind
               A                 E           A                E
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
           E             B7               E
And you're still just across the border line
   Instrumental as per first verse

         A                    E
And when you reach the broken promised land
A                        E
And all your dream slips through your hands
        E                                 B7
And you know it's too late to change your mind
               A                 E           A                E
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
           E            B7               E
And you're still just across the border line

E               B7  E                            D      A
Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand
E                            B7
Reveal a secret no one can define
E                  B7     E                     D         A
The river flows on like a breath in between are life and death
        E                 B7               E
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

             A                E
And when you reach the broken promised land
A                        E
And all your dream slips through your hands
            E                                 B7
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
               A                 E           A                E
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
           E            B7               E
And you're still just across the border line
           E            B7               E
And you're still just across the border line
        E             B7               E
Tell me who's next to cross the border line
