South of the border,     down Mexico way
E7              A        D9          A        F#m      E     E7
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above came out to play
  E   E7  A       A7            D      Dm
And now as I wander    my thoughts ever stray
          A    E9     E7/9   E9  A
South of the border, down Mexico way

She was a picture    in old Spanish lace
E7         A       D9          A    F#m      E    E7
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile upon her face
    E     E7    A    A7     A7      D   Dm
'Cause it was fiesta     and  we  were so gay

Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana"
             D9             A
Never dreaming that we were parting
         A            A7      D9
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"
             A    E7           A
'Cause our tomorrow    never came
A           A6   E9        E7/9   E9  A
South of the border, I jumped back one day
E7          A        D9           A       F#m        E       E7
There in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray
   E   E7       A   A7      A7         D    Dm
The mission bells told    me that  I  musn't stay
         A    E9       E7/9   E9  A
South of the border, down Mexico way
