Across The Wire


Tabbed by: piturja STANDARD TUNING C G Alberto hits his brother on the back of the head C looks to the north as he starts to get up G his brother's still sleepy, grumbles "it's not light yet," C "if you want a new life, what's a few minutes wait?" F C darkness on the road and over the land G C into the laws and out of the hands F from those with so much C and no show of heart G you'd think it'd be crazy C G C G C to ask for a small part G spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake C resting on cactus and feasting on snakes G but the waters recede as the dump closes in C revealing a whole lake of sleeping children F C poison in the stream that flows to the sea G C out on the waves that crash within reach F of those with so much C and so little to fear G you'd think it'd be crazy C to be so far away yet so near Dm F C some say a new day will shine here Dm F E F over these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune C all across the wire C G Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail C and dodging the border patrol G out in the wastelands wandering for days C the future looks bleak with no sign of change F darkness in the eye C and down in the soul G all across the wire C to those in control F holding so much C with no show of heart G you think it'd be crazy C to watch it all fall apart F G C watch it all fall apart
