Across the Borderline Chords by Freddie Fender

[Start]

[Verse]
D                                     
■ There's a place where I've been told
G                 A          D   
■ Every street is paved with gold
              Bm     Bm7     A          A7
And it's just across ■   the borderline ■ 
D                                   
And when it's time to take your turn
                       G             
Here's one lesson that you must learn
          D                     A7           D   
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find


[Chorus]
         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    Gmaj7  
■ Just to wind up where you are
           D          A7         D         
And you're still just across the borderline


[Solo]

[Verse]
                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
A7 D                               
■  The river flows on like a breath
               G             
In between our life and death
        D                 A         A7         D
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline ■


[Chorus]
         D                             
When you reach the broken promised land
G                   D                 
■ Every dream slips through your hands
                         Bm7                 A   
And you'll know it's too late to change your mind
           G       A        D          
'cause you pay the price to come so far
G         A       Bm        G  
■ Just to wind up where you are
           D     A7              D         
And you're still just across the borderline
