[F]
One of the things I [Ab] hear opposed from people
[Bbm] is somebody comes up to you on the street
[Cm]
[Bb] Oh man, I was going through [G] such a hard time
when I was in high school.
I was very, at this then,
I was going through such a [C] hard time
and you got me through it somehow.
So, [F] uh,
the truth is, uh,
the truth is you got me through it.
[G] That's more like it, actually.
[C] And, uh,
[F]
so I happened to be, um,
[B] downtown the other [Bb] night
and a young lady came up to me
and told [Cm] me one of those stories.
And, uh,
she mentioned this [Ab] song, so I'm going to do this.
The root [Bbm] of the [Bb] red fruit

[Bb] can [F] do this.
[C] [F]
When you [Bb] reach [C] the broken promise land
[Bb]
[C] And every dream [F] slips through your hands
Then you know you should [Dm] change your [C] mind
Cause you [Bb] paid the price [F] to come this far
[Bb]
Just to wind [Dm] up where you are
[F] And you're still just [C] a cross, a border [F] wall
Up and down [C] the Rio [F] Grande
[Bb] Thousand foot [C] precipice
[F]
We've yet to see
[Dm] What can [C] be won
[F] The river flows on like a bridge
In between our [Bb] life and death
[F] The next to [C] cross the border [F] line
When you [Bb] [F] reach the broken promise land
[Bb] And [C] every dream [F] slips through your hands
Then you know it's too [Dm] late to change [C] your mind
Cause [Bb] you paid the [F] price to come this far
Just [C] to wind [Dm] up where [Bb] you are
[F] And you're still just [C] a cross, a border [F] line
In the midst of darkness
[Bb] We will find [C] the way
[F]
From here [Dm] we will go
[C]
[F] Open page when pride is gone
And it keeps you [Bb] moving on
[F] [C] Across the border [F] line
When [Bb] you reach [C] the broken [F] promise land
[Bb] And [C] every dream [F] slips through your hands
Then you know it's [Dm] too late to change your [C] mind
