VERSE ONE
South of the (G border, .(D7) down Mexico (G way
.
That's where I fell in love
when the (Bbº7 stars above came (D7 out to play
And now as I (G7 wander, my thoughts ever (C)stray,
South of the (G border, (D7 down Mexico (G way
VERSE TWO
She was a (G vision in (D7 old spanish (G lace
.
And for a tender while,
I (Bbdim7 kissed the smile upon her (D7 face.
For it was (G fiesta ...(G7 and we were so (C gay,
South of the (G border, (D7 down Mexico (G way.

(G Then she smiled as she whispered (D7 manana,
Never dreaming that we were part-(Ging,
And I lied as I whispered man-( D7 ana,
For our tomorrow never (G came.
VERSE THREE
South of the (G border, I (D7 rode back one (G day,
There in a veil of white,
by (Bbdim7 candle light,...she knelt to (D7 pray.
The mission bells told (G me,..(G7 that I musn't (C stay,
South of the (G border, (D7 down Mexico (G way.
