A                   A6   E9          E7/9     E9  A
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
A                  A6  E9        E7/9   E9   A
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
              A          E9          E7/9     E9   A
South of the border,     down Mexico way
Bridge
E7                  A                       A6           E7
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
