Across The Border Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[G]Tonight my bag is packed

[C]Tomorrow I'll [G]walk these tracks

[D7]That will lead me across the [G]border


Tomorrow my love and I

[C]Will sleep 'neath [G]auburn skies

[D7]Somewhere across the [G]border

We'll leave [C]behind my dear

The pain and sadness [D7]we found here

And we'll [G]drink from the Brazos [C]muddy waters

Where the sky grows [G]gray and wide

[C]We'll meet on the [G]other side

[D7]There across the [G]border

For me you'll build a [C]house

High up on a [G]grassy hill

[D7]Somewhere across the [G]border


Where pain and memory

[C]Pain and memory [G]have been stilled

[D7]There across the [G]border

And sweet blossoms [C]fill the air

Pastures of [D7]gold and green

Roll [G]down into cool clear [C]waters

And in your arms '[G]neath the open skies

[C]I'll kiss the sorrow [G]from your eyes

[D7]There across the [G]border

Tonight we'll [C]sing the songs

I'll dream of you my [D7]Corazon

And [G]tomorrow my heart will be [C]strong

And may the [G]saints blessing and grace

[C]Carry me safely i[G]nto your arms

[D7]There across the [G]border

[C]For what are we

Without [D7]hope in our hearts

That [G]someday we'll drink from God's blessed [C]waters

And eat the [G]fruit from the vine

[C]I know love and fortune [G]will be mine

[D7]Somewhere across the [G]border
