  ACROSS THE BORDER

    By Bruce Springsteen

    From The Ghost of Tom Joad Album

  

  NOTES

    This is one of my favorite songs from the new album. To play along

    with the album, you'll have to capo at the first fret.  Bruce hammers

    on and pulls of the second string third fret (D) while playing the

    A to create a little movement.

  

  LYRICS

  

  Intro: A (strum "backwards," from high to low the first time)

  

  A

  Tonight my bag is packed

                D

  Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks

            E                  A

  That will lead me across the border.

  

  Tomorrow my love and I

  Will sleep 'neath auburn skies

  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 Bravo's muddy water.

  

  Where the sky grows gray and wide

  We'll meet on the other side

  There across the border.

  

  =46or you I'll build a house

  High upon a grassy hill

  There across the border.

  

  Where and pain and memory

  Pain and memory have been stilled

  There across the border.

  

  And sweet blossoms fill the air

  Pastures of gold and green

  Roll down into the cool clear waters.

  

  And in your arms 'neath open skies

  I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes

  There across the border.

  

  Tonight we'll sing the songs

  I'll dream of you, my coraz=F3n

  And tomorrow my heart will be strong.

  

  And may the saints' blessings and grace

  Carry me safely into your arms

  There across the border.

  

  =46or 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.
