Across The Border - Bruce Springsteen  

Capo 3rd  fret

|  |  |  |  |  
 
                       
Tonight my bag is packed 
                   
Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks 
                              
That will lead me across the border 
 
                     
Tomorrow my love and I 
                    
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies 
                      
Somewhere across the border 
 
             
We'll leave behind my dear 
             
The pain and sadness we found here 
                                        
And we'll drink from the Bravo's muddy waters 
 
                                
Where the sky grows grey and wide 
                  
We'll meet on the other side 
                  
There across the border 
 
                          
For you I'll build a house 
               
High up on a grassy hill 
                      
Somewhere across the border 

                     
Where pain and memory 
                      
Pain and memory have been stilled 
                  
There across the border 

                   
And sweet blossoms fills the air 
            
Pastures of gold and green 
                    
Roll down into cool clear waters 

                                 
And in your arms 'neath open skies 
                         
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes 
                  
There across the border 

(Harmonica Solo) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
 
              
Tonight we'll sing the songs 
           
I'll dream of you my corazón 
                              
And tomorrow my heart will be strong 

                                     
And may the saints' blessing and grace 
                    
Carry me safely into your arms 
                  
There across the border 

( Instr. ) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 

             
For what are we 
               
Without hope in our hearts 
                                       
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters 

                              
And eat the fruit from the vine 
                            
I know love and fortune will be mine 
                       
Somewhere across the border
