On The Border

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
                [F#m]The fishing boats go out across the evening water
                [D]Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
                [Bm]The winds whip up the waves so loud
                The [A]ghost moon sails a[G]mong the clouds
                And [F#m]turns the rifles [E]into silver [F#m]on the border

                [F#m]On my wall the colours of the maps are running
                [D]From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming
                [Bm]The torches flair up in the night
                The [A]hand that sets the [G]farms alight
                Has [F#m]spread the word to [E]those who're waiting [F#m]on the border

                [A]In the vllage where I grew up
                [Em]Nothing seems the same
                But still you [D]never see the change from day to [A]day
                And no one [D]notices the customs slip [C#]away [C#]    [B]      [A]        [Abm]            [F#m]                [E]                  [F#m]

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

                [A]In the islands where I grew up
                [Em]Nothing seems the same
                It's just the [D]patterns that remain an empty [A]shell
                But there's a [D]strangeness in the air you feel too [C#]well

                [C#] [B] [A] [Abm] [F#m] [E] [F#m]

                REPEAT 1st VERSE

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
