[A] South of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way That's where I fell in love, [E] where [D] stars above
play And now [A] as I wander, my [D] thoughts ever stray
South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way She was a picture [E] in [A] old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile [E] upon her face
and [D] love had its day South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way
Ay, ay, [E] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, [A] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
[E] whispered mañana Never dreaming that we [A] were parting
[D] whispered mañana Or [A] our [E] tomorrow
play And now [A] as I wander, my [D] thoughts ever stray
South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way She was a picture [E] in [A] old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile [E] upon her face
and [D] love had its day South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way
Ay, ay, [E] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, [A] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
[E] whispered mañana Never dreaming that we [A] were parting
[D] whispered mañana Or [A] our [E] tomorrow
