[Verse]
C                       G         
  There's a place where I've been 
C
told
F                 G     C    C
  Every street is paved with gold
C                Am     
  And it's just across the 
         G
borderline
C                       G         
  And when it's time to take your 
C
turn
Continúa después del anuncio
C                        F        
  Here's one lesson that you must 
Dm
learn
          C/G                   G 
You could lose more than you'll 
           C
ever hope to find


[Chorus]
         F/C       G/C F/C C
When you reach the bro-ken promised 
land
F                      C
 And every dream slips through your 
hands
            C                  Am 
Then you'll know that it's too 
                 G
late to change your mind
              F        G        C
'Cause you've paid the price to come
 so far
F        G    G#dim Am        F
 Just to wind up    where you are
           C/G         G       
And you're still just across the 
        C
borderline


[Verse]
C                 G   C
  Up and down the Rio Grande
F                       G  C   C
  A thousand footprints in the sand
C                 Am           G
  Reveal a secret no one can define
C                    G      C
  The river flows on like a breath
C                F        Dm
  In between our life and death
        C/G               G       
Tell me who's the next to cross 
        C
the borderline

[Verse]
C               G   C
 En la triste oscuridad
F            G   C  C
 Hoy tenemos que cruzar
C        Am                   G
 Este río que nos llama mas alla
C                       G        
  But hope remains when pride is 
C
gone
C                  F      Dm
  And it keeps you moving on
C/G            G               C
  Calling you across the borderline


[Chorus]
             F/C       G/C 
And when you reach the bro-ken 
F/C C
promised land
F                      C
 And every dream slips through your 
hands
C                Am               
 Then you'll know it's too late to 
 G
change your mind
              F        G        C
'Cause you've paid the price to come
 so far
F        G    G#dim Am        F
 Just to wind up    where you are
           C/G         G       
And you're still just across the 
       | C  |  F  |
borderline
            C           G         
Now, you're still just across the 
     [ C ]
borderline
