South Of The Border

 

 


  3   4   5  6  6    -6   -6-5-4  4
South of the border, down Mexico way,

  4      5   6  7   7   7   
That's where I fell in love

 7    -7   -6-6   -6   6  -5 -4
when stars above came out to play.

 6   6  -5-5  5  4   
And now as I wander,

 7     7    -8 7  -6
my thoughts ever stray,

 7   -6  -5  5  6    -6   -6-5-4  4
South of the border, down Mexico way.

 3  4   5  6  6   -6 -6  -5 -4    4
She was a picture in old Spanish lace.

 4    5  6  7 7    7    
Just for a tender while

7   -7   -6   -6  -6 6  -5  -4
I kissed the smile upon her face.

 6   6 -5 -5 5 4   7  7  -8    7 -6
For it was fiesta and we were so gay.

 7   -6  -5  5  6    -6  -6-5-4   4
South of the border, down Mexico way.

 5  -5     6    5  -5   6  -7     -6 6-5
Then she sighed as she whispered, "Manana,"

-4 5  -5  5    -5   -6  6   -5  5
Never dreaming that we were parting.

 5 -5   6  5 -5   6  -7    -6 6-5
And I lied as I whispered, "Manana,"

-6  6   -5  5 6 -5 -5   4
For our tomorrow never came.

 3    4   5  6  6   
South of the border,

-6 -6   -5   -4   4
 I rode back one day.

 4     5 6  7   7    7   
There in a veil of white

7  -7 -7  -6   -6    6   -5 -4
by candlelight she knelt to pray.

 6   6 -5   -5     5   4   
The mission bells told me,

 7   7 -8  7   -6
that I mustn't stay

 7   -6  -5   5 6    -6   -6-5-4  4
South of the border, down Mexico way.

 6  -6   6  -7      6  -7  -8   7
ay  ay  ay  ay     ay  ay  ay  ay
 
 6  -6   6  -7      8   8   8   7
ay  ay  ay  ay     ay  ay  ay  ay
