Across The Borderline
Willie Nelson Version

D                     A         D
There's a place where I've been told
G               A          D
Every street is paved with gold
              Bm               A
And it's just across the borderline
D                     A         D
And when it's time to take your turn
                     G        Em
Here's a lesson that you must learn
D                   A                D
You could lose more than you'll ever find

         Bm        A      D
When you reach the broken promised land
G               D
And every dream slips through your hands
                               Bm                  A
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
      G               A        D
Cause you've paid the price to come so far
G       A       Bm
Just to wind up where you are
           D     A                     D
And you're still just across the borderline

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

D   A   D
G   A   D
Bm  A 

D            A             D
Hope remains when pride is gone
                 G      Em
And it keeps you moving on
D           A                D
Calling you across the borderline

         Bm        A      D
When you reach the broken promised land
G               D
And every dream slips through your hands
                               Bm                  A
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
      G               A        D
Cause you've paid the price to come so far
G       A      Bm
Just to wind up where you are
           D     A                     D    G
And you're still just across the borderline
           D     A                     D
And you're still just across the borderline
