South Of The Border(Chords)

	        

G        D7           G  
Ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay    

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

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

                                 Am  
Then she sighed as she whispered, 'Mañana,'   
      D7                      G  
Never dreaming that they were parting,  
                  E7        Am  
And he lied as he whispered, 'Mañana,'  
         G        D7    G  
For their tomorrow never came.  

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

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