South of the border Chords

Lyrics & chords

1. South of the [C] border, [G7] down Mexico [C] way
That's [C] where I fell in love, when the stars [G] above came out to [G7] play
And [C] now as I wander, my [C7] thoughts ever [F] stray
South of the [C] border, [G7] down Mexico [C] way [G7]

2. She was a [C] picture in [G7] old Spanish [C] lace
Just [C] for a tender while I kissed a [G] smile upon her [G7] face
Cause [C] it was fiesta and [C7] we were so [F] gay
South of the [C] border, [G7] Mexico [C] way

Chorus :
Then she [C] sighed as she whispered, "ma - [G7] nana"
Never [G7] dreaming that we were [C] parting
And I [C] lied as a [C7] whispered, "ma - [F] nana"
Cause our [C] tomorrow [G7] never [C] came

3. South of the [C] border, I [G7] jumped back one [C] day
There [C] in a veil of white, by the [G] candlelight, she knelt to [G7] pray
The [C] mission bells told me that [C7] I mustn't [F] stay
South of the [C] border, [G7] down Mexico [C] way
