Sting – The Hills On The Border (Guitar)

        C            Em
Oh, the hills on the border

           C               D
'Bout this time of the year

         C     D       Em
When the mists seem to gather

       C      Bm      Em
In the valley of your fears

        C                 Em
And you walk through that valley

   C            D
As day turns to night

         C         D      Em
Is there something in the shadows

       C       Bm     Em
Or the failing of the light?

      C                 Em
I was walking home last evening

        C                  D
When perhaps I should have ran

       C         D  Em
From a darkening of shadows

       C     Bm   Em
In the shape of a man

          C           Em
It said, "Talk to me, stranger

   C              D
Or may I call you brother?

       C        D       Em
Let us make our way together

          C     Bm  Em
From this place to another

        G         D
I don't carry any weapon

        G         D
I don't carry any staff

         C     D         Em
But I'll carry half your burden

          C         Bm     Em
Till your journey's cut in half

       G             D
Let me sharе of your burden

    G                 D
The lifetimе you will carve

        C          D        Em
And the gravestone that you carry

     C    Bm     Am      Bm C D Em D G
Will be a burden halved"

       C           Em
He sat down by the roadside

       C                    D
As the mists they gathered 'round

           C     D        Em
Takes some cards from his pocket

        C        Bm      Em
That he spreads upon the ground

          C              Em
He said, "This card is a woman

         C               D
You will love but not possess

         C        D          Em
And this card's a man you'll murder

           C        Bm   Em
But you'll never confess

        G         D
I don't carry any weapon

        G         D
I don't carry any staff

         C     D         Em
But I'll carry half your burden

          C         Bm     Em
Till your journey's cut in half

       G             D
Let me sharе of your burden

    G                 D
The lifetimе you will carve

        C          D        Em
And the gravestone that you carry

     C    Bm     Am      Bm C D Em D G
Will be a burden halved"

         D            A
I said, "Why should I trust you?

       D                   A
Or the cards that you have thrown?

        G        A        Bm
I don't know you from the Devil

         G      F#m   Bm
And this burden is my own"

            D                A
He said, "I have the gift of secrets

         D                      A
From our Father, little brother

       G        A       Bm
Let us make our way together

          G     F#m   Em
From this world to another"

        C            Em
Oh, the hills on the border

           C               D
'Bout this time of the year

         C     D       Em
When the mists seem to gather

       C      Bm      Em
In the valley of your fears

        C                 Em
And you walk through that valley

     C                D
Your coat around your ears

       C    D      Em
As you walk to the borders

         C      Bm      Em
From the valley of your fears

       C    D      Em
As you walk to the borders

         C      Bm      Em
From the valley of your fears

       C    D      Em
As you walk to the borders

         C      Bm      Em
From the valley of your fears
