South Of The Border

G        D7           G
Ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay

                         D7     G
South of the border down Mexico way
That's where they fell in love when 
                 D7
stars above came out to play
                G           
And now as they wander their 
               C
thoughts ever stray
             G           D7     G
South of the border down Mexico way

                     D7         
She was a picture in old Spanish 
 G
lace
Just for a tender while he kissed 
          D7
the smile upon her face
           G                       
For it was Fiesta and they were so 
C
gay
             G           D7     G
South of the border down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered 
Am
mananna
      D7                     
Never dreaming that they were 
 G
parting
                  E7        Am
And he lied as he whispered mananna
         G        D7    G
For that tomorrow never came

                       D7          
South of the border he rode back 
  G
one day
There in a veil of white by 
                D7
candlelight she knelt to pray
                  G                
The mission bells told him that he 
        C
mustn't stay
             G           D7     G
South of the border down Mexico way

         D7           G            
Ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay 
D7           G
ay  ay ay ay ay
