     My name is Mary Francis     and I live in El Paso
     A              G-something                  A
In a large house on Mt. Franklin, I have quite a view
D             Em7  D     F#m                    A
I can see the de - sert,     pecan trees in the valley
      A                G-sthg                     A     (F#7)
Those little shacks in Juarez, yes I can see them too


F#7                  Cm7           F#7             B
     My name is Juan Contreras and from my home in Juarez
B            A            A             B
I can see El Paso and the houses of the rich
C7                  F#m7   E       G#m             B
I leave my children slee - ping to earn a few pe - setas
               A       F#7                        Bsus2
Selling red pistachios     to the tourists on the bridge


(Chorus)
E                            B       Cm7    B
Which side of the river, did someone flip a coin
G#m       B        E       C#m     A      F#7
It's sad enough to break a river's heart
B       C#m7  D          D          B     E
How can there be so much distance between us
         B/F#       F#7      Bsus2        E7sus2
When our houses are one mile apart


E7sus2                      Bm7     E7                AMaj7
        My house is Spanish stucco,     it has a blue Jacuzzi
                    G-sthg                          A   
Four bedrooms and a fireplace, a swimming pool with heat
A       C7                 F#m7 E     G#m                B                    
        My house is brown ado - be, I don't have running water
                    A         F#7                    Bsus2
I don't have indoor plumbing,      or pavement on my street


Chorus
