            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

            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
