Difficulty: novice


A D A E

A
Tonight my bag is packed
D       A
Tommorrow I'll walk these tracks
E               A
That will lead me across the border
A
Tommorrow my love and I
D         A
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
E          A
Somewhere across the border
      D
We'll leave behind my dear
           E
The pain and sadness we found here
     A           D
And we'll drink from the Brazos muddy waters
          A
Where the sky grows gray and wide
D         A
We'll meet on the other side
E        A
There across the border
A           D
For me you'll build a house
D      A
High up on a grassy hill
E          A
Somewhere across the border
A

Where pain and memory
D        A
Pain and memory have been stilled
E        A
There across the border
          D
And sweet blossoms fill the air
      E
Pastures of gold and green
   A          D
Roll down into cool clear waters
         A
And in your arms 'neath the open skies
D           A
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
E        A
There across the border

SOLO

       D
Tonight we'll sing the songs
           E
I'll dream of you my Corazon
  A             D
And tommorrow my heart will be strong
      A
And may the saints blessing and grace
D        A
Carry me safely into your arms
E        A
There across the border

SOLO

D
For what are we
    E
Without hope in our hearts
   A                   D
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
      A
And eat the fruit from the vine
D            A
I know love and fortune will be mine
E          A
Somewhere across the border
