Recorded live 1989. [Intro] C G C G [Verse 1]
              C     G              C
South of the border - down Mexico way

                                  Em     Ebdim       G
That's where I fell in love when stars above   came out to play

          C                        F    Em  Dm
Now as I wander my thoughts ever stray

Ebdim         C     G              C
South of the border - down Mexico way
[Verse 2]
           C      G                 C
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace

           C           Em           Ebdim   G
And for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face

             C                 F   Em  Dm
For it was Fiesta, we were so gay

Ebdim         C     G              C
South of the border - down Mexico way
[Bridge]
          C                          G
And she smiled and she whispered, "Mañana"

        G                    C
Never dreaming that we were parting

       C                      G
And I lied as I whispered, "Mañana"

           C      G     C
For our tomorrow never came
[Verse 3]
              C     G                  C
South of the border - I rode back one day

            C               Em    Ebdim       G
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray

                       C                      F    Em  Dm
And the mission bells told me that I mustn't stay

              C     G              C
South of the border - down Mexico way
[Outro]

             C
Aye aye aye aye
