ay ay [G] ay ay
[F] Down [Bb]
[Gm] [Ab] [F]
Mexico [Bb] Way
that's where I fell in love
When the stars [Cm] above came [F] out of the blaze
and [Ab] now [Bb] as I wonder
My thoughts [Eb] have her spray
South of [Bb] the border
[F]
Down [Bb] Mexico way
She was a picture
[Bm]
[F] [Bb]
And for a tender while I kissed the [F] smile upon her face
For it [Bb] was fiesta and [Eb] we were so gay South [Bb] on the border, [Ab]
[F] down Mexico [Bb] Bay
Then she sighed as she [F] whispered mañana Never dreaming [A] that we were [Gm] parting
And I [B] lied as I [Cm] whispered mañana [Ebm] For [G] our [F] tomorrow [Bb] never came
South of the border [Ab] [F]
I rode back [Bb] one day There in a veil of white, my candlelight
[F]
The mission [Bb] bells told me [Gm]
that I [Eb] mustn't stay South [Bb] of the [Db] border, [F]
down Mexico [Bb] Bay
