A D A  E 

A 
Tonight my bag is packed
D              A
Tommorrow I'll walk these tracks
E                             A
That will lead me across the border
A
Tommorrow my love and I
D                 A
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
E                    A
Somewhere across the border
            D
We'll leave behind my dear
                     E
The pain and sadness we found here
          A                     D
And we'll drink from the Brazos muddy waters
                    A 
Where the sky grows gray and wide
D                 A
We'll meet on the other side
E                A
There across the border
A                     D
For me you'll build a house
D            A      
High up on a grassy hill
E                    A 
Somewhere across the border
A
Where pain and memory
D               A
Pain and memory have been stilled
E                A
There across the border
                   D 
And sweet blossoms fill the air
            E
Pastures of gold and green
     A                    D
Roll down into cool clear waters
                  A                    
And in your arms 'neath the open skies
D                     A 
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
E                A
There across the border

SOLO

              D
Tonight we'll sing the songs
                     E
I'll dream of you my Corazon
    A                          D
And tommorrow my heart will be strong
            A
And may the saints blessing and grace
D                A
Carry me safely into your arms
E                A
There across the border

SOLO

D
For what are we
        E   
Without hope in our hearts
     A                                      D
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
            A
And eat the fruit from the vine
D                       A
I know love and fortune will be mine
E                    A
Somewhere across the border
