This is a Ry Cooder song but this is how Willy does it (DeVille that is, not Nelson)

Across The Borderline - Willy DeVille
                                   
Intro: E (022100@1) B7 (x21202@1)E (022100@1)E (022100@1)E (022100@1)                B7 (x21202@1)      E (022100@1)                         D (xx0232@1)         AThere's (x02220@1)a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold
         E (022100@1)                     B7 (x21202@1)                  
And it's just across the border line 
    E (022100@1)               B7 (x21202@1)      E (022100@1)                        D (xx0232@1)      AAnd (x02220@1)when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn
          E (022100@1)                B7 (x21202@1)             E (022100@1)             
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find

A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)           
And when you reach the broken promised land 
A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)  
And all your dream slips through your hands 
        E (022100@1)                               B7 (x21202@1)              
And you know it's too late to change your mind 
               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)         A (x02220@1)              EBecause (022100@1)you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
           E (022100@1)           B7 (x21202@1)             E (022100@1)              
And you're still just across the border line

Instrumental as per first verse

A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)           
And when you reach the broken promised land 
A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)  
And all your dream slips through your hands 
        E (022100@1)                               B7 (x21202@1)

               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)         A (x02220@1)              EBecause (022100@1)you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
           E (022100@1)          B7 (x21202@1)             E (022100@1)

E (022100@1)             B7 (x21202@1)E (022100@1)                          D (xx0232@1)    AUp (x02220@1)and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand
E (022100@1)                          B7 (x21202@1)                  
Reveal a secret no one can define 
E (022100@1)                B7 (x21202@1)   E (022100@1)                   D (xx0232@1)       AThe (x02220@1)river flows on like a breath in between are life and death
        E (022100@1)               B7 (x21202@1)             E (022100@1)                    
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
 
             A (x02220@1)              E (022100@1)           
And when you reach the broken promised land 
A (x02220@1)                      E (022100@1)                     
And all your dream slips through your hands 
            E (022100@1)                               B7 (x21202@1)             
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 
               A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)         A (x02220@1)              EBecause (022100@1)you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are
