On The Border Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
The [Em]fishing boats go out across
the evening water
[C]Smuggling guns and arms across the
Spanish border
The [Am]wind whips up the waves so loud
The [G]ghost moon sails a[F]mong the clouds
[Em]Turns the rifles [D]into silver
[Em]on the border
[Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]On my wall the colours of the
maps are running
From [C]Africa the winds they talk of
changes coming
The [Am]torches flare up [F]in the night
The [G]hand that sets the [F]farms alight
Has [Em]spread the word to [D]those who're waiting
[Em]on the border

[Chorus 1]
[G]In the village where I grew up
[Dm]Nothing seems the same
Still you [C]never see the change
from day to [G]day
And no-one [C]notices the customs slip a[B]way
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Late last night the rain was
knocking on my window
I [C]moved across the darkened
room and in the lampglow
I [Am]thought I saw down in the street
The [G]spirit of the [F]century
[Em]Telling us that [D]we're all standing
[Em]on the border

[Chorus 2]
[G]In the islands where where I grew up
[Dm]Nothing seems seems the same
It's just the [C]patterns that remain
An empty [Em]shell
But there's a [C]strangeness
in the air you feel too [B]well
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]fishing boats go out across
the evening water
[C]Smuggling guns and arms across the
Spanish border
The [Am]wind whips up the waves so loud
The [G]ghost moon sails a[F]mong the clouds
[Em]Turns the rifles [D]into silver
[Em]On the border

[Outro 1]
[C]On the border, [Em]on the border
[C]On the [Em]border
[Fade out]
