[Verse 1]
Ay, [A]ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, [D]ay
[A]Ay, ay, ay, ay
South of the border
Down Mexico [D]Way
That's where I fell in love
when [Fdim]stars above came ou[Em]t to play
[A]An d now as [D]I wander,
my thoughts ever [G]stray
South of the border[Bm],
[Em]down Mexic[A]o Way[D][G]
[A]She was a picture [G]in[Asus4]
[G]old[A] Spanish[D] lace
Just for a tender while
I [Fdim]kissed the smile u[Em]pon her face
[A]For it was [D]Fiesta and we were [G]so gay
I was south of the border[Bm],
[Em]right down [A]Mexico [D]Way[G][D]
Then she sighed as I whispered [A]mañana
Never dreaming [Asus4]that we were parting[D]
And I lied as I whispered manana
[A]For our tomorrow[D] never [A]cam[D]e
South [A]of the border,
I rode back [D]one day
There in a veil of white by [Fdim]candlelight
She [Em]knelt to [A]pray,
how the mission bell[D]s told me
That I must[G]n't stay
Out south of the [Bm]bor der
[Em]Down Mexic[A]o Way[D][G]
[A]Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, [D]ay[A][D][A][D][A][D]
