G D7 G
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
D7 G
South of the border down Mexico way,
D7
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play,
G C
And now as they wander their thoughts ever stray
G D7 G
South of the border down Mexico way.
D7 G
She was a picture in old Spanish lace.
D7
Just for a tender while he kissed the smile upon her face,
G C
For it was Fiesta and they were so gay
G D7 G
South of the border down Mexico way.
Am
Then she sighed as she whispered, "Mañana,"
D7 G
Never dreaming that they were parting,
E7 Am
And he lied as he whispered, "Mañana,"
G D7 G
For their tomorrow never came.
D7 G
South of the border he rode back one day.
D7
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray.
G C
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay
G D7 G
South of the border down Mexico way.
D7 G D7 G
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
