[Intro]
| G* |

[Chorus 1]
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.

[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.
