Across The Borderline
Recorded by Willie Nelson
Written by John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, James Dickinson

C                     G7        C
There's a place where I've been told
F               G7         C
Every street is paved with gold
              Am                G7
And it's just across the border line
C                     G7        C
And when it's time to take your turn
                     F        Dm
Here's a lesson that you must learn
C                   G7               C
You could lose more than you'll ever find

         Am        G7     C
When you reach the broken promised land
F         C
And every dream slips through your hands
                               Am                  G7
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
      F               G7       C
Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F       G7      Am
Just to wind up where you are
           C     G7                     C
And you're still just across the border line

                G7  C
Up and down the Rio Grande
F                     G7     C
A thousand footprints in the sand
                Am           G7
Reveal a secret no one can define
C                  G7     C
The river flows on like a breath
               F        Dm
In between our life and death
C                 G7              C
Who's the next to cross the borderline

             G7            C
Hope remains when pride is gone 
                 F      Dm
And it keeps you moving on
C           G7               C
Calling you across the borderline

Repeat #2

Am         C     G7                     C
And you're still just across the border line

      F               G7       C
Cause you've paid the price to come so far
F       G7      Am
Just to wind up where you are
           C     G7                     C
And you're still just across the border line
Am         C     G7                     C
And you're still just across the border line
