On The Border Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F♯mThe fishing boats go out across the evening water

DSmuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border

BmThe winds whip up the waves so loud

The Aghost moon sails aGmong the clouds

And F♯mturns the rifles Einto silver F♯mon the border

F♯mOn my wall the colours of the maps are running

DFrom Africa the winds they talk of changes coming

BmThe torches flair up in the night

The Ahand that sets the Gfarms alight

Has F♯mspread the word to Ethose who're waiting F♯mon the border

AIn the vllage where I grew up

EmNothing seems the same

But still you Dnever see the change from day to Aday

And no one Dnotices the customs slip C♯away C♯ B A G♯m F♯m E F♯m

F♯mLate last night the rain was knocking on my window

DI moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow

BmI thought I saw down in the street

The Aspirit of the Gcentury

F♯mTelling us that Ewe're all standing F♯mon the border

AIn the islands where I grew up

EmNothing seems the same

It's just the Dpatterns that remain an empty Ashell

But there's a Dstrangeness in the air you feel too C♯well

C♯ B A G♯m F♯m E F♯m

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
