[E] [F#m]
[B] [E]
South of the border, [F#m]
[B] down [E] Mexico way
That's where I fell in [G] love when stars [E] above [B] came out to play
And now [E] as I wander, my thoughts [A] ever stray
[C#]
South [E] of the border, [F#m]
[B] down [E] Mexico way
She was the picture [F#]
[B] in old [E] Spanish hay
Just for a tender while, [G] I kissed the [E] smile [B] upon her face
For it [E] was fiesta, [G#] and we were [A] so gay
[C#]
[F#m] South of [E] the border, [F#m]
[B] down [E] Mexico way
Then she sighed as she [F#m] whispered mañana
[B] Never dreaming that we were [E]
parting
And I lied [C#] as I [F#m] whispered mañana
For [E] our [B] tomorrows [E] never came
South of the border, [F#m]
[B] I wrote back [E] one day
There in a veil of white, [Em] by candlelight, [B] she knelt to pray
The mission [E] bells told me
That I [A] mustn't stay
[G]
South of [E] the border, [B]
down Mexico [E] way
Then she sighed as she [F#m] whispered mañana
[B] Never dreaming that we were [E]
parting
And I lied as [C#] I [F#m] whispered mañana
For [E] our [B] tomorrows [E] never came
South of the border, [F#m]
[B] I wrote back [E] one day
There in a veil of white, [Em] by candlelight, [B] she knelt to pray
The mission [E] bells told me
[G#] That I [A] mustn't stay
[G]
South [E] of the border, [C#m] [F#m]
[B] down Mexico [E] way
[G]
[F#m] South [E] of the border, [F#]
[Bm] down Mexico [E] way
[Em]
