From: Arkie ACROSS THE BORDERLINE (Ry Cooder/John Hiatt/Jim Dickinson) There's a place, so I've been told, Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline And when it's time to take your turn There's a lesson that you must learn You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find. (chorus) And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand You have learned it's too late to change your mind Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline. Up and down The Rio Grande A thousand foot prints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define The river rolls on like a breath In between our life and death Tell me who is next to cross that borderline. (chorus) And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand You'll know it's too late to change your mind Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline. |

Do you know the rest of the chords? It's a fairly simple song but it has a few minor chords thrown in there that are confusing my limited ability. Thanks |

And when you reach that broken promised land And every dream slips though your hand You know it's too late to change your mind Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline. Up and down The Rio Grande A thousand footprints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Who쳌fs the next to cross the borderline. Hope remains when pride is gone And it keeps you moving on Carrying you across the borderline http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deoqz6V9mqk&feature=fvst |
