Just Across the Rio Grande Chords

(ver. 2)
Reba Mcentire
CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO: G

                     Bm7
The lights of Laredo dance on the water
    C                      G
And shine in a young man's eyes
      
He stands on the border
    Bm7           C      D
And dreams of paradise


     G                      Bm7
He's heard crazy stories of how people live
C           A
Over in the promised land
   G                    Em
He heard they eat three meals a day
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande


                                 Bm
He's got a wife name Maria and a baby named Rose
     C                         G
And another one to feed on the way

Two willing hands
     Bm7                  C     D
That couldn't find work today


   G                       Bm7
He stares at the river and curses the future
     C             A
That he can't understand
   G                      Em
He knows the child would have a chance
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande



CHORUS:
     G D    G
It's only a river
       C              G      D
That's not so deep or wide
  G               Em
A boy can throw a stone across
    Am              D
And reach the other side
     G         D      G      C
It's just some muddy water
                    A
Cutting through the land
      G              Em   
But a man can make a dream come true
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande


                     Bm7
The lights of Laredo dance on the water
    C                      G
And shine in a young man's eyes
      
He stands on the border
    Bm7           C      D
And dreams of paradise


     G                      Bm7
He's heard crazy stories of how people live
C           A
Over in the promised land
        G                    Em
And sometimes it seems like god must live
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande


CHORUS:
     G D    G
It's only a river
       C              G      D
That's not so deep or wide
  G               Em             C
A boy can throw a stone across
                    D
And reach the other side
     G         D      G      C
It's just some muddy water
                    A
Cutting through the land
      G              Em   
But a man can make a dream come true
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande
                        Em
Sometimes it seems like god must live
C               D   G
Just across the Rio Grande
