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.

And now as I wander, my thoughts ever  stray,

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,

South of the bor…der, Mexi..co  way.

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.

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.
