Introducción: Bm7 E7 A D9 A F#m7 E7
A A6 E9 E7/9 E9A
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 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 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
