       F   
I'm standing in the station, 
         C  
I am waiting for a train, 
      Gm                  
To take me to the border, 
                      Dm      
And my loved one far away, 
   Gdim                                               Dm  
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war, 
              Gm                 C     C7           Dm9  
I could hardly even bear to see them go; 
 
F   
Rolling through the countryside, 
C  
Tears are in my eyes, 
           Gm  
We're coming to the borderline, 
       Dm  
I'm ready with my lies, 
      Gdim                                     Dm  
And in the early morning rain, I see her there, 
           Gm                       C7                      F - C - Dm - C - Bb - Dm - C - Bb - F/C - C  
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;  
 
              F                      F/E    Dm                
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, 
   Gm                                 Gm/D     C     
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, 
      F                 C/E    Dm  
I'm taking my side,___ one of us will lose, 
Gm               
Don't let go, I want to know, 
        Eb                                        Dm - C  
That you will wait for me until the day, 
Bb                           Dm - C - Bb  
There's no borderline,________ no borderline;  
 
Walking past the border guards, 
Reaching for her hand, 
Showing no emotion, 
I want to break into a run, 
But these are only boys, and I will never know, 
How men can see the wisdom in a war...  
 
And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do, 
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you, 
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose, 
Don't let go, I want to know, 
That you will wait for me until the day, 
There's no borderline, no borderline, 
Bb                Dm - C - Bb                    Dm   
No borderline,________ no borderline...
