REBA MCENTIRE - Just Across the Rio Grande guitar chord

C Cm7

The lights of Laredo dance on the water

F C

And shine in a young man’s eyes.

C

He stands on the border

Cm7 Em F

And dreams of paradise.

C Cm7

He’s heard crazy stories of how people live

F Cm7 Dm

Over in the promise land.

C Cm7 F C

He heard they eat three meals a day

Am7 G C

Just across the Rio Grande.

He’s got a wife name Maria, a baby named Rose.

And another one to feed on the way.

Two willing hands

That couldn’t find work today.

He stares at the river and curses the future

That he can’t understand.

He knows the child would have a chance

Just across the Rio Grande.

Chorus

C G C

It’s on - ly a river

F C

That’s not so deep or wide.

C Am7

A boy can throw a stone across

F G

And reach the other side.

C G C

It’s just some muddy water

F Dm

Cutting through the land,

C Cm7 F C

But a man can make a dream come true

(Sometimes it seems like God must live)

Am7 G C

Just across the Rio Grande.

The lights of Laredo dance on the water

And shine in a young man’s eyes.

He stands on the border

And dreams of paradise.

He’s heard crazy stories of how good life is

Over in the promise land.

And sometimes it seems like God must live

Just across the Rio Grande.

Chorus
