Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone

The night moves too slow

  She tries to remember, the heat of his touch

  While listenin’ to the border radio

  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

  This song comes from 1962

  Dedicated to a man who’s gone

  50,000 watts out of Mexico

  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

  This is the border radio
