G  D  G  D
           Am7              D7                 G
Wish I was holdin’ someone somewhere else tonight
         Am7                          D7                                    G
About a thousand miles north of here would just about be right
         G7                                                       C
I left Houston on a southbound train about a year ago
A7                                                      Am7  D
Bound to forget your face down in Mexico

[Verse]
            Am7                     D7                    G
Ah these warm summer nights guitars and soft white lace
           Am7                  D7                      G
But in every seniorita’s smile I see your face
           G7                                                                   c
I just hope like hell the little rings still on your hand
                A7
I’m gonna pack it up tonight and if I cant catch a flight,
        Am7               D7
I’ll swim the Rio Grande

[Chorus]
           G7                           C
Headin North of the Border, Back in the U.S.A.
          A7                                            Am7                D7
To my Texas queen, in faded jeans and love my life away
G7                                      C                   A7
North of the border, back with the one I need
         Am7                      D7                      G  D  G  D
And I hope you feel the same way about me

[Verse]
Am7                           D7              G
Rolling into Houston and the rain is pourin’ down
         Am7              D7                          G
It aint sunny Mexico but lord it’s such a beautiful town
                    G7                                                          C
If there’s a light in the window, I know you’re waitin’ for me
                   A7
And if you’ll open up your arms, just one more time,
          Am7               D7
that’s where I’ll always be

[Chorus]
        G7                               C
Livin’ North of the border, back in the U.S.A.

           A7                                             Am7                 D7
With my Texas queen, in faded jeans and love my life away
G7                                      C                   A7
North of the border, back with the one I need
         Am7                      D7                      G7
And I hope you feel the same way about me
                             C  A7
{north of the border}
         Am7                      D7                      G7
And I hope you feel the same way about me
                                C  A7
{north of the border}

         Am7                      D7                      G  D
Girl I hope you feel the same way about me
