Dave Alvin - Border Radio Chords & Tabs

BORDER RADIO
Dave Alvin - C# (Capo 1)


       C                          F
  It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone
C                     F
  The night moves too slow
      C          C/B         Am
  She tries to remember, the heat of his touch
        F               G           C   F   C   F
  While listenin’ to the border radio

                                      C
  She calls toll-free, and requests an old song
  Something they used to know
  She prays to herself, that wherever he is
  He’s listenin’ to the border radio

Chorus
  F
  This song comes from 1962
      Am
  Dedicated to a man who’s gone
  F                        C
  50,000 watts out of Mexico
             G           C             G           C
  This is the border radio, this is the border radio
                                 Last Chorus play 'Am' here

  She thinks of her son, asleep in his room
  And how her man won’t see him grow
  She thinks of her life, and she hopes for a change
  While listenin’ to the border radio

Break / Repeat Chorus

  And they play her tune, but she can’t concentrate
  She wonders why he had to go
  It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone
  And she’s listenin’ to the border radio

Repeat Chorus

  F           G      C       F   C   F   G   C
  This is the border radio
