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