Intro: Gm Verse: Gm I work on the border Gm I see what I see F I work on the border Gm And it’s working on me Gm I lie awake at night Gm Knowing what I know F There’s a price on my head Gm Of every border patrol Gm Where the smugglers Do business Gm That’s where I make a stand F I know this old desert Gm Like the back of my hand Gm I see greed in the bushes Gm I see snakes in the dark F Some are friends of my brothers Gm Can’t hear you hear them dogs bark Chorus: D# I come home to Maria A# At the end of the day D# In thе shape of a shadow F Holding demons at bay Gm ‘It’s just a border’ thеy say Verse: Gm It was Mexican soldiers Gm Out of a black Humvee F With their guns to their shoulders Gm Aimed at my partner and me Gm As they drove away laughing Gm But the message was clear F We don’t care about nothing Gm But the money down here Chorus: D# I come home to Maria A# In a bulletproof vest D# With the weight of the whole wide world F Barring down on my chest Gm It’s just a border I guess Bridge: Dm Gm From the shacks and the shantys Dm Gm Come the hungry and poor Dm Gm Some to drown at the crosses D# Some to suffer no more Verse: Gm Guess you heard about Campbell Gm Ever on the F Both of them friends of mine Gm Both good men Gm They did one thing right Gm And look what they got F Federal prison Gm Where they’ve both gotta run Chorus: D# I come home to Maria F Where else would I go D# Cross the River to die by myself F Down In old Mexico Gm It’s just the border y’know Gm F Gm F Gm F Gm
