[G]
[C] South of the border, [G] down [C] Mexico way, that's where I fell in love when stars above [G] came
out to play.
And now as [C] I wonder, my thoughts [F] ever stray, South of [C] the border, [G] down [C] Mexico way,
she was a picture [G] in old [C] Spanish lace.
Just for a tender while, I kissed the smile [G] upon her face,
for it was [C] fiesta, and love [F] had its day.
South [C] of the border, [G] down Mexico [C] way,
ay, ay, [G] ay, ay, ay, ay, [C] ay, ay, ay.
Then she sighed as I [G] whispered mañana, never dreaming that we [C] were parting.
And I lied as I [F] whispered mañana, for [C] our tomorrow [G] [C] never came.

[G] South of [C] the border, I rode back [C] one day,

The mission [C] bells told me that [E] I [F] shouldn't stay.
