[Gm] [C] [Eb] [C] [Ab]
[C] [G] [Am] South of the border, [C] down Mexico way, That's [Ebm] where I [Em] fell in [B] love when the stars [Dm] above
[Fm] came out to [G] play.
And [F] now as I [C] wonder, my [Bb] thoughts ever [F] stray, [Dm] South [C] of the border, down Mexico way,
[G] She was a [A] picture [Fm] in [B] old [Gm] Spanish [A] lace, [Ab] [C] Just for a tender while, [Cm] I kissed the [D] smile
[A] upon her [G] face, Cause it was [G] fiesta, [C] and we [F] were so gay.
[Dm] South [Am] of the [G] border, [Cm] Mexico [Db] way, [C]
Then she sighed as she whispered [Em] mañana,
[D] Never [G] dreaming that we [D] were parting, [C]
And I lied [A] as I [Dm] whispered mañana,
[C] Cause our [G] tomorrow never came.
South [Am] of the border, [C] I [Gm] jumped back [C] one day, [C] There in [Em] a veil of white [Ebm] by the candlelight,
[Dm] She knelt [Fm] to pray, [G] The mission [C] bells told me,
That I [F] mustn't stay, South [Am] of the [A] border, [Dm] [G] Mexico [Db] [C] way,
[G] [A] [C] [Db] [C]
[G] [Ab] [G] The mission [C] bells told me, [B] That [F] I must not stay,
[Dm] Stay [A] south of the border, Down Mexico way,
Ey, [G] Ey, Ey, [C] [Dm] [Em] [C] [Bm] Ey, [G] Ey, Ey
[F] [D]
