On The Border
Ton : AEnglish
F#mThe fishing boats go out across the evening water
DSmuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The Bmwinds whip up the waves so loud
The Aghost moon sails aGmong the clouds
And F#mturns the rifles Einto silver F#mon the border
F#mOn my wall the colours of the maps are running
From DAfrica the winds they talk of changes coming
The Bmtorches flair up in the night
The Ahand that sets the Gfarms alight
Has F#mspread the word to Ethose who're waiting F#mon the border
AIn the vllage where I grew up
EmNothing seems the same
But still you Dnever see the change from day to Aday
And no one Dnotices the customs slip C#away

LF#mate last night the rain was knocking on my window
I mDoved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
I tBmhought I saw down in the street
The sApirit of the cGentury
TF#melling us that wEe're all standing oF#mn the border
IAn the islands where I grew up
NEmothing seems the same
It's just the pDatterns that remain an empty sAhell
But there's a sDtrangeness in the air
You feel too wC#ell
