[Verse 1]
[D]Sou[Bm]th of[Em] the[A] bo[D]rde[Bm]r,[B][Em][A][D][Bm]
[Em]down Mexic[A]o Way,[D]
That's where I fell in love
when [F#m]stars [Fdim]above came ou[A]t to play.
And now as I [D]wander,
my thoughts ever [G]stray,[C]
[Em]South of the borde[D]r,[Bm]
[Em]down Mexic[A]o [Asus4]Way.[D]
[Em]She [A]was a pict[D]ure in[B]
[Em]no S[A]panish place[D],
just for a tender [Em]while
I [F#m]kissed the [Fdim]smile u[Em]pon he[A]r face.
For it was [D]Fiesta,
and we were so [G]gay,
South of the [D]border[F#m],[F][Em]
down [A]Mexico [D]Way.
Then she sighed as she whispered,
[B]Mañana,[Em]
Never [A]dreaming that [Em]we were partyi[D]ng.
And I lied as I [B]whispered man[Em]ana,
for our to[D]morrow [F#m]nev er[G] ca[A]me.[D]
South of the border,
[B]I r[Em]ode bac[A]k one day.[D]
There in a veil of [Em]white by [F#m]candle[Fdim]light,
she [Em]knelt to [A]pray.
The nation bells [D]told me
that I mustn't [G]stay
[Em]South of the [F#m]border[Bm],[Em]
down [A]Mexico [D]Way
Ay, ay, [A]ay, ay
Ay, ay, [D]ay, ay
Ay, ay, [A]ay, [A]ay
Ay, [A]ay, ay, [D]ay
[C][D]
