E
Dirty people take what's mine
                 B
I can leave them all behind
E        B     C#m        E
They can never cross that line
     A            B    E
When I get to the Border
E
Sawbones standing at the door
               B
Waiting 'til I hit the floor
E          B        C#m   E
They won't find me anymore
     A            B   E
When I get to the Border
B
Monday morning, monday morning
              
Closing in on me
    B       B/Bb   G#m
I'm packing up and running away
         E               F#   B
To where nobody picks on me
E
If you see a box of pine
                  B
With a name that looks like mine.
E      B            C#m       E  
Say I drowned in a barrel of wine.
     A             B   E
When I got to the Border

SOLO

E
A one way ticket's in my hand
                B
Heading for the chosen land
   E        B         C#m    E
My troubles will all turn to sand
     A            B   E
When I get to the Border
E
Salty boy with yellow hair
                B
Waiting in that rocking chair
    E      B     C#m     E
And if I'm weary I won't care
     A            B   E
When I get to the Border
B
Monday morning, monday morning
              
Closing in on me
    B       B/Bb   G#m
I'm packing up and running away
         E               F#   B
To where nobody picks on me
E
Dusty road will smell so sweet
                B
Paved with gold beneath my feet
    E       B       C#m      E
And I'll be dancing down the street
     A            B   E
When I get to the Border
    E       B       C#m      E
And I'll be dancing down the street
     A            B   E 
When I get to the Border
     A            B   E  
When I get to the Border
     A            B    E
When I get to the Border
