South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
South of the [C]border,
[G]down Mexico way[C]
That's where I fell in love when
[B]stars [Ebdim]above came out[G] to play
And now as I [C]wander[Ebdim] ,[C]
my thoughts ever [F]stray
South of [C]the border,
[Dm]down[G] Mexico way[C]

[Verse 2]
She was [C]a picture [Dm]in o[G]ld Spanish lace[C]
Just for a tender while,
I [B]kissed [Ebdim]the smile upon [G]her face
For it [D]was [C]fiesta and we were so [F]gay
South of [C]the border, [G]down Mexico way[C]

[Verse 3]
Then she [C]sighed as she whispered,
[G]"mañana"
Never dreaming that we were [C]parting
And I lied as I whispered,
[Dm]"mañ[F]ana"
For our to[C]morrow [G]never [C]came

[Verse 4]
South of the [C]border,
[G]I rode back one day[C]
There in a veil of white,
by [B]candle[Ebdim]light, she kn[G]elt to pray
But the mission bells [C]told me,
that [G]I mustn't s[F]tay
South of the [C]border, [G]down Mexico way[C]

[Verse 5]
Ay ay ay [G]ay, ay ay ay ay
[C]Ay ay ay ay, ay ay [G]ay ay

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
