Tony Joe White - Down By The Border
F C
Moonlight out on the water
A7 Dm
The salty air touching my skin
F C
Walking with a barefoot woman
A7 Dm
On the Padre Island sand
D Gm
She was golden brown
C
Her hair shines
F
Just like silver
Dm Gm
The words left unspoken
A7
But there was something strong
Dm
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
F C
Moonlight out on the water
A7 Dm
The salty air touching my skin
F C
Walking with a barefoot woman
A7 Dm
On the Padre Island sand
D Gm
She was golden brown
C
Her hair shines
F
Just like silver
Dm Gm
The words left unspoken
A7
But there was something strong
Dm
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
