This is a Ry Cooder song but this is how Willy does it (DeVille that is, not Nelson) 

Across The Borderline - Willy DeVille 
                                    
Intro: E   B7  E  E    

E                  B7        E                           D           A 
There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold 
         E                       B7                     
And it's just across the border line  
    E                 B7        E                          D        A 
And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn 
          E                  B7               E                
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find  

         A                    E              
And when you reach the broken promised land  
A                        E     
And all your dream slips through your hands  
        E                                 B7                 
And you know it's too late to change your mind  
               A                 E           A                E 
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are 
           E             B7               E                 
And you're still just across the border line  

   Instrumental as per first verse 

         A                    E              
And when you reach the broken promised land  
A                        E     
And all your dream slips through your hands  
        E                                 B7                 
And you know it's too late to change your mind  
               A                 E           A                E 
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are 
           E            B7               E                 
And you're still just across the border line  
                                      
E               B7  E                            D      A 
Up and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sand 
E                            B7                     
Reveal a secret no one can define  
E                  B7     E                     D         A 
The river flows on like a breath in between are life and death 
        E                 B7               E                       
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline 
  
             A                E              
And when you reach the broken promised land  
A                        E                        
And all your dream slips through your hands  
            E                                 B7                
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind  
               A                 E           A                E 
Because you've paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you are 
           E            B7               E                 
And you're still just across the border line  
           E            B7               E                 
And you're still just across the border line  
        E             B7               E                 
Tell me who's next to cross the border line
