Across The Border

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.
