_ [Am] _ _ [C] That's where I fell in love when [Gb] stars [Dm] above came [G] out to play.
_ [Dm] [B] And now [C] as I wonder _ my thoughts [F] ever stray, _ _ _ _ south [C] of the border, _
_ [Dm] _ down [C] Mexico way. _
_ _ _ She was [Am] a picture _ [F] _ [B] in old [C] Spanish _ lace, _ just for a tender [Em] while I kissed [C] the [Dm] smile upon her [G] face.

[Dm] _ The [C] mission bells told me that I [F] mustn't _ stay, _ _ [Em] south of the border, _
[G] _ _ down [C] Mexico way. _
