[E]
[F#m] [B] [E]
South of the border, [F#m] [B] down [E] Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, [Em] when stars above [B] came out to play
[C#] And [E] now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray
[C#] South [E] of the border, [F#m] [B] down [E] Mexico way
She was a picture, [B] in [E] old Spanish lace
Just for a tender [C#] while, I kissed [A#] the smile [B] upon her face
For it [E] was fiesta, and we [A] were so gay
[F#] South [E] of the border, [F#] [B] down [E] Mexico way
Then she sighed as she [F#m] whispered mañana
[B] Never dreaming that [E] we were parting
And I lied [C#m] as I [F#m] whispered mañana
For [E] our [B] tomorrow [E] never came
South of the border, [F#m] [B] I wrote [E] back one day
There in a veil of white, [G] by [C#m] candlelight
[B] She knelt to pray
The [E] mission mail told me
That I [A] mustn't stay
[C#] South [E] of the border, [B] down [E] Mexico way
Then she sighed as she [F#m] whispered mañana
[B] Never dreaming that we [E] were parting
And I lied [C#m] as I [F#] whispered mañana
For [E] our tomorrow [B]
[E] never came
South of the border, [F#m] [B] I wrote back [E] one day
There in a veil of white, by candlelight
[B] She knelt to pray
The mission [E] mail told me
That I [A] mustn't stay
[F#m] South [E] of the border, [F#m] [B] down [E] Mexico way
[F#] South of [E] the border, [B] down [Bm] [E] Mexico way
[F#m] [B] [E]
South of the border, [F#m] [B] down [E] Mexico way
