[Verse 1]
[A]South of the bor
[D]der [A]down Mexico way[D]
That's where I fell in love
When [Ddim]the stars [C#]above [A]came out to play
And now as I won[D]der

[Verse 2]
[D]Their thoughts ever [G]stray
South of the bor[D]der[A]
down Mex[Em]ico [D]way
She was a [A]picture in [Em]old spanish l[D]ace
Just for a little while

[Verse 3]
I [Ddim]kissed t[C#]he smile u[A]pon her face
For it was [Em]"fi e[D]sta" and
we were so [G]gay
South of the bor[D]der [A]down [Em]Mexico [D]way
Then she sighed as she whispered
[A]"ma[C]nana"

[Verse 4]
Never [A]dream that [C]we were [D]parting[F#m]
And I [D]lied as I [F#m]whispered

'Cause [A]our tomorrow nev[Em]er ca[D]me
South of the [A]border I [Em]rode back one day

[Verse 5]
There in a veil of white by candlelight
[Ddim]She knel[C#]t to pra[A]y[C][A]
But the mission bells told [D]me
[G]That I mustn't stay

[Verse 6]

down [Em]Mexico [D]way
Ay- [A]ay- ay- [D]ay ay- ay- ay- ay
[A]Ay- ay- [D]ay- ay ay- ay- ay- ay
