Down On The Border

E7: 020130


[Intro]
Am F Dm7 F Am7 Am Am7


[Verse 1]
  Am
I just got back
           F
From the border
    Dm7
And what I saw
        F
Made me know for sure
             Am7  Am
We're out of order


[Verse 2]
  Am
I had a dream
      F
About New Orleans
    Dm7
At Jackson Square
    F
I heard a prayer
        Am7
Down to New Orleans


[Chorus]
       E
On the run there's a life for livin'
        E                 E7
But the people there they just don't care
Am
Livin' their life
       F
Like a millionaire
              Am7
Down on the border


[Interlude]
Am

[Verse 3]
       Am
You'll never see me
   F
In old Iran
    Dm7
The women there
           F
Don't know who I am
   Am7     Am
In old Iran


[Verse 4]
      Am
And I never will go
    F
To Singapore
     Dm7
The people there
     F
Will cut your hair
     Am7
In Singapore


[Chorus]
         E
On their streets there's a life of plenty
            E                     E7
But they'll never know about the freedom show
        Am
They're livin' in darkness
F
Years ago
            Am7
Down on the border


[Solo]
Am F Dm7 F Am7


[Verse 5]
     Am                   F
They built a wall at the border
       Dm7
Not to keep us out
       F
But to leave no doubt
               Am7   Am
They're out of order


[Verse 6]
    Am
And all the people
         F
Who are trapped within
         Dm7
Serve to show
         F
Just how far we'll go
                   Am7
And how dumb we've been


[Chorus]
       E
At the top life looks so easy
            E                       E7
But they'll never know what they'll never know
        Am
They're much too busy
         F
Countin' all their dough
         Am    F
From the border
         Am    F
From the border


[Outro]
F            Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
             Am    F
Down on the border
