  There's a place where I've been told
                  D          A    
  Every street is paved with gold
           E    C#m              B
  And it's just across the borderline
E                       B7        E
  And when it's time to take your turn
E                        D        A
  Here's one lesson that you must learn
          E                     B7           E
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find



         
When you reach the bro-ken promised land
A                      E
 And every dream slips through your hands
                               C#m                  B7
Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind
              A                  E
'Cause you've paid the price to  come so far
B7                  E
 Just to wind up    where you are
                      B7              E
And you're still just across the borderline

E                 A     E
  Up and down the Rio Grande
                        D      A
  A thousand footprints in the sand
  E               C#m          B7
  Reveal a secret no one can define
E                    B7      E
  The river flows on like a breath
                 D        A
  In between our life and death
        E                 B7              E
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

When you reach the bro-ken promised land
