Lucy Kaplansky - When I Get To The Border
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C F G C Am F G C G C G Am G F G C
Dirty people take what's mine
G
I can leave them all behind
C G Am C
They can never cross that line
F G
When I get to the Border
C
Sawbones standing at the door
G
Waiting 'til I hit the floor
C G Am C
They won't find me anymore
F G C
When I get to the Border
CHORUS:
G
Monday morning, Monday morning
C G
Closing in on me
Em
I'm packing up, I'm running away
C D G
To where nobody picks on me_
C
If you see a box of pine
G
With a name that looks like mine
C G Am C
Say I drowned in a barrel of wine
F G C
When I got to the Border
INSTRUMENTAL: C F G C Am F G C G C G Am G F G C
A one way ticket's in my hand
G
Heading for the chosen land
C G Am C
My troubles will all turn to sand
F G
When I get to the Border
C
Salty boy with yellow hair
G
Waiting in that rocking chair
C G Am C
And if I'm weary I won't care
F G C
When I get to the Border
CHORUS:
G
Monday morning, Monday morning
C G
Closing in on me
Em
I'm packing up, I'm running away
C D G
To where nobody picks on me_
C
Dusty road will smell so sweet
G
Paved with gold beneath my feet
C G Am C
And I'll be dancing down the street
F G C
When I get to the Border
OUTRO:
C Em Am C
I'll be dancing down the street
F G C
When I get to the Border
F G C
When I get to the Border
F G C F G C G Am C F C
When I get to the Border
