[Verse 1]
South [G]of [Eb]the b[G]or[Eb]der,[G][Ebaug][G][C]

That's where I fell in love

[Am]my thoughts ne[Gm]ver stay[F][A]
[Dm]South [Eb]of the borde[C]r,

And she sighed as I whispered [Dm]mañana
Never [G]dreaming that we were part[C]ing
And I lied for I [G]whispered [Dm]mañana

Ay, ay, ay, [G]ay
Ay, ay, ay, [C]ay
