Border Song

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Key: Am

-3 4 -4 -5 6-55
Ho-ly mos- es
4 -3 -4 3* -332
I have been re-moved
4 4 6 5 -5 -6
I have seen the spec-tre
6 -5 5 -55 6
he has been here too
6 6 7 7 6 7 6 -54-34-5
Dis-tant cous-in from down the line
5 5 5 5 5 6 5 -56-55
Brand of peo-ple who ain’t my kind
-6 -7 7 -665-33
Ho-ly mos- es
-5 5 -5 -5 43-34
I have been re-moved

Ho-ly mos-es I have been de-ceived
Now the wind has changed di-rec-tion
and I’ll have to leave
Won’t you please ex-cuse my frank-ness
but it’s not my cup of tea
Ho-ly mos-es I have been deceived

3 4 -5 6 -5 5 5 5
I’m go-ing back to the bor-der
-5 5 -5* -5 5 -5
Where my af-fairs,
5 -7 7 6 -5 5-5 -5 5
Where my af-fairs ain’t a-bused
6 -5 5 -5* -5 5 -5 4 4 -3
I can’t take an-y more bad wat-er
-3 -5* -5 5 5 5 -7
Been poi-soned from my head
6-55 5 5 5
down to my shoes

Holy moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way
to make all hatred cease
Theres a man over there
whats his colour I dont care
Hes my brother let us live in peace
Hes my brother let us live in peace
Hes my brother let us live in peace
