Intro: – [C] [Em] [G] [Dm7] [F] [Dm] [C]
[C] [Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C]
South of the border, down Mexico way,
[Em] [C] [G7] [Am] [C] [Em] [Dm]
That's where I fell in love, when the stars above, came out to play.
[G] [F] [C] [Am7] [C] [Am]
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray,
[C] [Em] [G] [Dm7] [F] [Dm] [C]
South of the bor…der, down Me - xi - co way.
[C] [Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C]
She was a picture in old Spanish lace,
[Em] [C] [G7] [Am] [C] [Em] [Dm]
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile a-pon her face.
[Am] [G] [Em] [C] [Am7] [C] [Am]
'Cause it was fiest..a and we were so gay,
[C] [Em] [G] [Dm7] [Dm] [C]
South of the bor…der, Mexi..co way.
[E] [G] [E] [G] [A] [G] [F] [E] [F] [G] [A] [F] [E]
Then she sighed as she whispered, "manana", never dreaming that we-e were parting,
[E] [G] [A] [G] [F] [E] [C] [E] [G] [F] [C]
And I lied as I whispered, "manana", 'cause our tomorrow never came.
[C] [Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C]
South of the border, I jumped back one day,
[Em] [C] [G7] [Am] [C] [Em] [Dm]
There in a veil of white, by the candlelight, she knelt to pray.
[Am] [F] [G] [Em] [Am7] [C] [G]
The mission bells told me, that I mustn't stay,
[C] [Em] [G] [Dm] [F] [Dm] [C]
South of the bor…der, Me – xi - co way.

[C] [Em] [G] [Dm] [F] [Dm] [C]
South of the bor…der, Me – xi - co way.
[C] [Em] [C] [G] [G] [C] [Em] [C] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [C] [Em] [G] [C]
Aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye, aye aye aye aye.
