[Verse 1]
[C]Turn to me folks, take [Am]what's mine
[C]I c[F]an leave you all [G]behind,
[C]you can never [G]cross [Am]the line
When [F]I get to the border,
[G]there's a sor[C]e bone standing at the doo[Am]r
And it's [F]waiting till I hit [G]the floor,
but [C]he won't find [G]me anymore
[Am]When I get[F] to the border[G]
[Am]Monday [G]morning,
Monday morning, closing [C]in on [G]me
I'll pack it up while I'm [Em]runnin' away
[G]To where [C]nobody can [Am]pick on [D]me
[G]So [C]if you see a box of vine
With a [F]name [C]on the lid
that's [G]spelt like mine
You can [C]say I [Em]drowned in a [G]barrel of [F]wine
[G]When [F]I got to the b[G]order[Am]
When [F]I got to the b[G]order
[C]Now[G][C][G][D][Em][G][C][Am]
[G]the
[C]one -way ticket's in my hand
And I'm heading for my [G]chosen land
Where my [C]troubles will all turn [G]to [Am]sand
When [F]I get to the border
[G]There's a [C]salty girl with yellow hair
Wait[F]ing in my [G]rocking chair
And [C]if I'm weary then [G]she won't [Am]care
When [F]I get to the b[G]order[C]
[Am]Lonely [G]mornin', lonely mornin',
no [C]sleepin' on [G]me
I'm packin' up, I'm [Em]runnin' away to [G]where [C]nobody can [Am]pick on [D]me[G][C][Am]
[F][C][F][G][C][Am][G][F][G][C]
[F][Am][F][G][C][Am][G][F][G][Am][C][Am][G]
[C][G]
I'll pack it up and I'm run[Em]ning away
Till when I [C]run again, [Am]you know I'll f[D]lee
[G]Now the [C]dusty road's beneath my feet
And it's [F]paved with gold,
the [G]smell is sweet
So [C]I'll be dan[Em]cing [G]down the [Am]street, when [F]I get to the b[G]order,[Am]
when [F]I get to the border
