This is a Ry Cooder song but this is how Willy does it (DeVille that is, not Nelson) Across The Borderline - Willy DeVille Intro: E B7 E E E B7 E D A There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold E B7 And it's just across the border line E B7 E D A And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn E B7 E You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find A E And when you reach the broken promised land A E And all your dream slips through your hands E B7 And you know it's too late to change your mind A E A E Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are E B7 E And you're still just across the border line Instrumental as per first verse ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/willy_deville/across_the_borderline_crd.html ) A E And when you reach the broken promised land A E And all your dream slips through your hands E B7 And you know it's too late to change your mind A E A E Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are E B7 E And you're still just across the border line E B7 E D A Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand E B7 Reveal a secret no one can define E B7 E D A The river flows on like a breath in between are life and death E B7 E Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline A E And when you reach the broken promised land A E And all your dream slips through your hands E B7 Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind A E A E Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are E B7 E And you're still just across the border line E B7 E And you're still just across the border line E B7 E Tell me who's next to cross the border line
