(Intro.)
Ay ay ay (G)ay, ay ay ay (C)ay, ay ay ay (G)ay, ay ay ay (C)ay
 
South of the (C)border, (G) down Mexico (C)way
That's where I fell in love when the (Em)stars a-(Ebm)bove came (Dm)out to (G)play
And now as I (C)wander, (C7) my thoughts ever (F)stray
South of the (C)border, (G) down Mexico (C)way

(Chorus)
And she (C)sighed as she whispered "ma-(G)nana"
Never dreaming that we were (C)parting
And I lied as I (C/C#)whispered man-(Dm)ana
For our to-(C)morrow (G) never (C)came
 
South of the (C)border, (G) I rode back one (C)day
There in a veil of white, by (Em) candle (Ebm)light, she (Dm)knelt to (G)pray
The mission bells (C) told me, (C7) that I musn't (F)stay
South of the (C)border, (G) down Mexico (C)way

(Outro.)
Ay ay ay (G)ay, ay ay ay (C)ay, ay ay ay (G)ay, ay ay ay (C)ay |(G) |(C) |(C)(G)(C) |
