By The Rio Grande

A
Every river searches for the sea
                             E
Every life runs it's own destiny
D                      F#m      E         F#m
Canyons white and wild streches calm and mild
E                                 A
Cutting through the stones of history
A
Rio Grande runs south to Mexico
                                    E
From the highway I have touched its shores
D                       F#m      E    F#m
Reynosa to Sante Fe and back the other way
E                                   A
I've had my life planned by the Rio Grande
D                 F#m
An unbroken chain snow and tears and rain
E                              A
Cutting thru my soul and to my veins
D                              F#m
Then the waters rise paint the Rocky Mountain skies
E
One more circle around the world again
                                 A
One more year rolls down the Rio Grande

A
Our forefathers crossed the muddy line
A                                  E
Pilgrims passing leaving tracks in time
D                              F#m   E      F#m
One more takes a  stand by the water by the land
E                                 A
Shifting like the sand by the Rio Grande
D                 F#m
An unbroken chain snow and tears and rain
E                              A
Cutting thru my soul and to my veins
D                              F#m
Then the waters rise paint the Rocky Mountain skies
E
One more circle around the world again
                                 A
One more year rolls down the Rio Grande
E
One more circle around the world again
                                 A
One more year rolls down the Rio Grande
