(Play that "G" right into the first verse...)
I was Gup when I put her down
I was Cthinking 'bout a BorderGtown
And I Gsang it out in a song
In a Dsong, Lord, in a Gsong.
It's a shame and it's a crime.
Can't see nothin' eye to eye.
Water's up but the levee's down
In a bordertown, in a bordertown.
A lonely man will settle for
Something less than he adores
And he'll sing it out in a song
In a song, Lord, in a song.
I was wrong and I was right.
And I was thinkin' that I just might
Pack it up to settle down
In a bordertown, in a bordertown.
[Chorus]
The Cdifference, I percieve
Ain't Gnothing but a Emdream
In us Gall, in us Dall, Lord, in us Gall.
From Oregon to Shenandoah
I have ridden the highway roads
And I sang it out in a song
In a song, Lord, in a song.
Every city is the same
And every river has a name
Like the stars shining down
On a bordertown, on a bordertown.
[Chorus]
The difference, I percieve
Ain't nothing but a dream
In us all, in us all, Lord, in us all.
In us all, Lord, in us all.
In us all...
[Outro]

(Play that "G" right into the first verse...)

I was up when I put her down

C G

I was thinking 'bout a Bordertown

And I sang it out in a song

D G

In a song, Lord, in a song.

It's a shame and it's a crime.

Can't see nothin' eye to eye.

Water's up but the levee's down

In a bordertown, in a bordertown.

A lonely man will settle for

Something less than he adores

And he'll sing it out in a song

In a song, Lord, in a song.

I was wrong and I was right.

And I was thinkin' that I just might

Pack it up to settle down

In a bordertown, in a bordertown.

[Chorus]

The difference, I percieve

G Em

Ain't nothing but a dream

G D G

In us all, in us all, Lord, in us all.

From Oregon to Shenandoah

I have ridden the highway roads

And I sang it out in a song

In a song, Lord, in a song.

Every city is the same

And every river has a name

Like the stars shining down

On a bordertown, on a bordertown.

[Chorus]

The difference, I percieve

Ain't nothing but a dream

In us all, in us all, Lord, in us all.

In us all, Lord, in us all.

In us all...
