Title:				ON THE BORDER			(Al Stewart)

		F# minorF#m
		The fishing boats go out across the evening water
		D MajorD
		Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
		B minorBm
		The winds whip up the waves so loud
		  A augmentedA         G+G
		The ghost moon sails among the clouds
		  F# minorF#m       E MajorE      F# minorF#m
		And turns the rifles into silver on the border

		F# minorF#m
		On my wall the colours of the maps are running
		D MajorD
		From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming
		B minorBm
		The torches flair up in the night
		  A augmentedA         G+G
		The hand that sets the farms alight
		  F# minorF#m        E MajorE          F# minorF#m
		Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border

		A augmentedA
		In the vllage where I grew up
		E minorEm
		Nothing seems the same
		       D MajorD                A augmentedA
		But still you never see the change from day to day
		      D MajorD            C#C#  C#C# BB A augmentedA G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
		And no one notices the customs slip away

		F# minorF#m
		Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
		D MajorD
		I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
		B minorBm
		I thought I saw down in the street
		  A augmentedA       G+G
		The spirit of the century
		F# minorF#m       E MajorE         F# minorF#m
		Telling us that we're all standing on the border

		A augmentedA
		In the islands where I grew up
		E minorEm
		Nothing seems the same
		       D MajorD               A augmentedA
		It's just the patterns that remain an empty shell
		       D MajorD                  C#C#
		But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well

		C#C# BB A augmentedA G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m

		REPEAT 1st VERSE
