Bordertown

Am             C
I can sleep it off,
                 F
Sleep it back to sleep,
               Am
I can be most anything I want.
                     C
A long way from the shade,
                      F
The north side of the moon.
               Am
Down here only rich men lose their shirts.

[Verse 2]
Am                    C
And John Law wakes to sweep,
                    F
The morning off the street,
                  Am
But no one cares if he has done his job.
                    C
And postcards never came,
                        F
From race tracks by the sea.
                          Am
From a gambler who says: "You are still my lucky thing."

[Chorus]
F     C
Bordertown,
Am              C           F
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
Am    C F7
F     C
Bordertown,
Am        C           F          Am
I am your accident in Bordertown.

[Verse 3]
Am                C
Coyotes stirs the drinks,
                      F
And drives his stolen jeep,
                            Am
And drives the kingsnake to its happy hole.
                   C
But I stand in the clear,
                  F
The only place he fears,
                    Am
The only place he's never seen me stand.

[Chorus]
F     C
Bordertown,
Am              C           F          F7
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
F     C
Bordertown,
Am         C          F          G
I am your accident in Bordertown.


[Verse 4]
G
There ain't no seasons here,
G
But the freezin' still appears,
            Am   C     F
Everytime I call this home.
         Am
Can't be enough alone.

Am             C
I can sleep it off,
                 Fm
Sleep it back to sleep,
              Am
I can be most anything I want.
                    C
A long way from the shade,
                      F
The north side of the moon.
               Am           G       F     C
Down here only taxi drivers know my name.
