[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] In the quiet hours [A] before [B] the dawn
[C#m] He buttons up [A] his [B] uniform
[C#m] Takes out his badge [A] and pins it [B] on
[C#m] For thirty years he's [A] enforced [B] the law
[A] And he drives out on [B] the Rio Grande
[E] Across the dry [A] and sunburned [E] land
[F#m] And on this side [E] he takes his stand [B] again
They [E]
[B] [E] won't get through [A] this border [E] town
[D#] He [E] turns them back, [A] he stands [E] his ground
[D#] But [E] still they come [A] because they [E] know
[B] Somewhere [C#m] the streets [A] are paved [E] with gold
[F#m] Somewhere [E] beyond the sound
[B]
Of this border [C#m] town
It's [A] [B] [C#m] [A]
[B] [C#m] not his place to [A] say [B] what's fair
[C#m] He's done his duty [A] all [B] these years
[C#] In his mind [A] the law's the [B] law
[C#m] But then at dusk she [A] wades [B] across
[A] And he sees the hope [B] that's in her [E] eyes
A child with dreams [A] of a brand new [E] life
[F#m] It's not his job to [E] say what's right or [B] [E] wrong
[B] They [E] won't get through this [A] border [E] town
[D#] [E] He turns them back, he [A] stands his [E] ground
[B] [E] But still they come [A] because they [E] know
[B] [C#m] Somewhere the streets are [A] paved with [E] gold
[F#m] Somewhere [E] beyond the sound
[B] Of this border [C#m] town
As night falls over [B] Mexico
He [A] waits there as she [E] comes ashore
[C#m]
Then he stares a moment [B] at her face
[A] He turns his back [E] and he walks away
[B]
[C#m] They [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [A] [B]
[E]
[B] [E] won't get through [A] this border [E] town
[D#] He [E] turns them back, [A] he stands [E] his ground
[B] But [E] still they come [A] because [E] they
[B] know
[E] Somewhere the streets are paved with gold
[F#m] Somewhere [E] beyond [B] the sound
Of this [C#m] border town
