Reba McEntire – Just Across The Rio Grande (Guitar)

                     Em7
The lights of Laredo dance on the water

    F                      C
And shine in a young man’s eyes

    Em7           F      G
And dreams of paradise

     C                      Em7
He’s heard crazy stories of how people live

F                    D
Over in the promised land

   C                    Am
He heard they eat three meals a day

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande

                                 Em
He’s got a wife name Maria and a baby named Rose

     F                         C
And another one to feed on the way

     Em7                  F     G
That couldn’t find work today

   C                       Em7
He stares at the river and curses the future

     F             D
That he can’t understand

   C                      Am
He knows the child would have a chance

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande

     C G    C
It’s only a river

       F              C      G
That’s not so deep or wide

  C               Am
A boy can throw a stone across

    Dm              G
And reach the other side

     C         G      C      F
It’s just some muddy water

                    D
Cutting through the land

      C              Am   
But a man can make a dream come true

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande

                     Em7
The lights of Laredo dance on the water

    F                      C
And shine in a young man’s eyes

    Em7           F      G
And dreams of paradise

     C                      Em7
He’s heard crazy stories of how people live

F           D
Over in the promised land

        C                    Am
And sometimes it seems like god must live

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande

     C G    C
It’s only a river

       F              C      G
That’s not so deep or wide

  C               Am             F
A boy can throw a stone across

                    G
And reach the other side

     C         G      C      F
It’s just some muddy water

                    D
Cutting through the land

      C              Am   
But a man can make a dream come true

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande

                        Am
Sometimes it seems like god must live

F               G   C
Just across the Rio Grande
