Tonight my bag is packed
[Ebsus2] Tomorrow I'll [Bb]walk these tracks
That will [F]lead me a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
Tomorrow my love and I
[Ebsus2] Will sleep 'neath [Bb]auburn skies
Some[F]where a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
We'll leave be[Ebsus2]hind my dear
The pain and sadness [dm/F]we found here
And we'll [Bb]drink from the Bravo's muddy [Ebsus2]water
Where the sky grows [Bb]gray and wide
[Ebsus2] We'll meet on the [Bb]other side
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
For you I'll build a house
[Ebsus2] High up on a [Bb]grassy hill
Some[F]where a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
Where pain and memory
[Ebsus2] Pain and memory [Bb]have been stilled
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
And sweet blossoms [Ebsus2]fill the air
Pastures of [dm/F]gold and green
Roll [Bb]down into cool clear [Ebsus2]waters
And in your arms 'neath [Bb]open skies
[Ebsus2] I'll kiss the sorrow [Bb]from your eyes
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
[Bb]. . . . |[Ebsus2]. . . . |[Bb]. . . . |[F]. . [F7]. . |[Bb]. . . . |. . . . :|
Tonight we'll [Ebsus2]sing the songs
I'll dream of you my [dm/F]corazon
And [Bb]tomorrow my heart will be [Ebsus2]strong
And may the saints' bles[Bb]sing and grace
[Ebsus2] Carry me safely in[Bb]to your arms
[F]There a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
[Bb]. . . . |[Ebsus2]. . . . |[Bb]. . . . |[F]. . [F7]. . |[Bb]. . . . |. . . . :|
For [Ebsus2]what are we
Without hope in [dm/F]our hearts
That someday we'll [Bb]drink from God's blessed [Ebsus2]waters
And eat the fruit [Bb]from the vine
[Ebsus2] I know love and fortune [Bb]will be mine
Some[F]where a[F7]cross the [Bb]border
[Bb]. . . . |[Ebsus2]. . . . |[Bb]. . . . |[F]. . [F7]. . |[Bb]. . . . |. . . . :|
[Ebsus2]. . . . |. . . . |[dm/F]. . . . |. . . . |[Bb]. . . . |[Ebsus2]. . . . |. . . . |
[Bb]. . . . |[Ebsus2]. . . . |[Bb]. . . . |[F]. . [F7]. . |[Bb]. . . . |. . . . |
