Tony Joe White - Down By The Border

G                    G
Moonlight out on the water
E7                        Am
The salty air touching my skin
G                       G 
Walking with a barefoot woman
E7                  Am 
On the Padre Island sand

A               Dm
She was golden brown
    G
Her hair shines
          G
Just like silver
    Am          Dm
The words left unspoken
               E7
But there was something strong
         Am 
There between us

The crowd down in Reynosa
Filled the arena with their cheers
The blood flowed
In the hot afternoon
They sit and laugh
And drink their beer

But her face was just like stone
She left her heart unguarded
I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
