             G       D7            G         G
South of the border,   down Mexico way,

               G                 G                D7          D7
that's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play.

             G       G                  C        C
And now as I wander,   my thoughts ever stray,

             G       D7            G        G
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
[Chorus 2]
          G       D7               G            G
She was a picture   in old Spanish lace,

           G              G                 D7          D7
just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face.

             G    G                  C          C
For it was fiesta   and love had its days,

             G       D7            G        G
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
[Interlude]
     D   D      G       G
Ayayaya,   ayayaya.
[Verse]
         G                          D
Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana",

      D7                    G
never dreaming that we were parting.

      G                      C
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"

          G      D7      G*
for our tomorrow   never came.
[Solo] (Chorus) | G | D | G | G | | G | G | D | D | | G | G | C | C | | G | D | G | G* | [Chorus 3]
             G      D7                G            G
South of the border   I rode back one day,

           G                 G                D7             D7
there in a veil of white, by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.

                  G         G                  C          C
The mission bells   told me   that I shouldn't stay

             G       D7            G        G*
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
[Outro]
     D   D      G           G
Ayayaya,   ayayaya.

     D   D              G       G*
Ayayaya,   goodbye, goodbye.
