View chords used in this chart

G

Tonight my bag is packed

C G

Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks

D7 G

That will lead me across the border

Tomorrow my love and I

C G

Will sleep 'neath auburn skies

D7 G

Somewhere across the border

C

We'll leave behind my dear

D7

The pain and sadness we found here

G C

And we'll drink from the Brazos muddy waters

G

Where the sky grows gray and wide

C G

We'll meet on the other side

D7 G

There across the border

C

For me you'll build a house

G

High up on a grassy hill

D7 G

Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory

C G

Pain and memory have been stilled

D7 G

There across the border

C

And sweet blossoms fill the air

D7

Pastures of gold and green

G C

Roll down into cool clear waters

G

And in your arms 'neath the open skies

C G

I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes

D7 G

There across the border

C

Tonight we'll sing the songs

D7

I'll dream of you my Corazon

G C

And tomorrow my heart will be strong

G

And may the saints blessing and grace

C G

Carry me safely into your arms

D7 G

There across the border

C

For what are we

D7

Without hope in our hearts

G C

That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters

G

And eat the fruit from the vine

C G

I know love and fortune will be mine

D7 G

Somewhere across the border
