I, [Bb] I, I, I, I, oh, oh, [Gm] [Eb] oh, oh, oh, oh.
I, [Bb] I, I, I, I, [Gm]
oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh, [Ab] oh, [Eb] oh, oh.
South of the border, [Bb] down [Eb] Mexico way.
That's where I fell in love [Gm] when [Gb] stars [Fm] above came out to [Bb] play
And [Eb] now as I wonder, might [Ab] thoughts ever stray
[Fm] [Ab] South [Eb] of the border, [Bb] down [Eb]
Mexico [Ab] way
[Eb] She was a picture, [Bb] an [Eb] old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed [Gbm] the smile [Fm]
upon her [Bb] face
For [Eb] it was Fiesta and we [Ab]
were so [Fm] gay
[Ab] South [Eb] of the border, [Ab] [Bb] down [Eb] Mexico [Ab] way
[Eb] Then she sighed as she whispered [Fm] mañana
[Gm] Never dreaming that we [Eb] were parting
[C] And I lied as I [Fm] whispered mañana
For [Eb] our tomorrow [Bb] [Eb] never came
South of the border, [Bb] I [Eb] rode back one day
There in a veil of [Gm] white by [Gbm] a [Fm] candlelight
She knelt to [Bb] pray, the mission [Eb] bells tolled
That [Ab] I mustn't stay
[Fm] [Ab] South [Eb] of the border, [Bb] down [Eb]
Mexico [Ab] [Eb] way
[C] Ay, [Bb] ay, ay, ay
Oh, [Eb] oh, oh
Ay, [Bb] ay, ay, ay
[N] Oh, [Bb] oh, oh
[Eb] [N]
I, [Bb] I, I, I, I, [Gm]
oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh, [Ab] oh, [Eb] oh, oh.
