[E]Dirty people take what's mine
I can leave them [B]all behind
[E]They can [B]never [C#m]cross that [E]line
When [A]I get to the [B]Borde[E]r
[E]Sawbones standing at the door
Waiting 'til I [B]hit the floor
[E]They won't [B]find me a[C#m]nymore[E]
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
[B]Monday morning, monday morning
Closing in on me
I'm [B]packing [B/Bb]up and [G#m]running away
To where [E]nobody picks on [F#]me[B]
[E]If you see a box of pine
With a name that l[B]ooks like mine.
[E]Say I d[B]rowned in a b[C#m]arrel of w[E]ine.
When [A]I got to the B[B]orde[E]r

SOLO

[E]A one way ticket's in my hand
Heading for the [B]chosen land
My [E]troubles [B]will all t[C#m]urn to [E]sand
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
[E]Salty boy with yellow hair
Waiting in that [B]rocking chair
And [E]if I'm [B]weary [C#m]I won't [E]care
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
[B]Monday morning, monday morning
Closing in on me
I'm [B]packing [B/Bb]up and [G#m]running away
To where [E]nobody picks on [F#]me[B]
[E]Dusty road will smell so sweet
Paved with gold [B]beneath my feet
And [E]I'll be [B]dancing [C#m]down the [E]street
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
And [E]I'll be [B]dancing [C#m]down the [E]street
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
When [A]I get to the [B]Bord[E]er
When [A]I get to the [B]Borde[E]r
