Song: Just Across the Rio Grande Tab

 	 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
