C   Em   C   Em

[Verse 1]
 C                        Em
Alone in the dark, at the edge of the border
  C                   Em
A coyote calling, the moon from the sky
    F                        C
The bright shining eye, of a circling vulture
    F                      C        F       C
And holes in the old fence line


[Verse 2]
C                      Em
Traveling far from the land of my father
    C                     Em
The red cactus far in the weight of a crime
F                   C
Faraway barking, of dogs by the water
    F                      C        F       C
And holes in the old fence line


[Chorus]
E           Esus4    F             C
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh,   Angels, look away,
  F              C        E7        Am
Unbar the pearly gates, Unblock the road
     F
Down here at the border, the dogs are getting close
   Am   Em   Am   Em   F   C   G  Gsus4  G


[Verse 3]
    C                   Em
And all of my dreams, a house by the river
  C                         Em
A small bit of land, for my beautiful wife
F                        C
Something to show, for a lifetime of labor
    F                      C        F       C
And holes in the old fence line


[Verse 4]
      C                         Em
And I crawl in the dirt, to the edge of a country
    C                       Em
I’m hammering hard, and the dust in my eyes
  F                         C
I traded the night, for the last of my money
    F                      C        F       C
And holes in the old fence line


[Chorus]
E           Esus4  F             C
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh, Angels, look away,
  F              C        E7        Am
Unbar the pearly gates, Unblock the road
     F
Down here at the border
     F
Down here at the border, I’m just an animal
  Am   Em   Am   Em   F   C   G  Gsus4  G


[Verse 5]
 C                        Em
Alone in the dark, at the edge of the border
  C                   Em
A coyote calling, the moon from the sky
    F                        C
The bright shining eye, of a circling vulture
    F                      C
And holes in the old fence line
