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
SOLO
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
