South Of The Border

VERSE ONE 
  
South of the (G) border, .(D7) down Mexico (G) way 
.  
That's where I fell in love 

when the (Bbdim7)stars above came (D7) out to play 
   
And now as I (G7)wander, my thoughts ever (C)stray, 
  
South of the (G) border, (D7) down Mexico (G) way 


VERSE TWO 
  
She was a (G) vision in (D7) old spanish (G) lace 
.  
And for a  tender while,  

I (Bbdim7) kissed the smile upon her (D7) face.  

For it was (G) fiesta ...(G7) and we were so (C) gay, 
  
South of the (G)  border, (D7) down Mexico (G) way.  


BRIDGE 

(G) Then she smiled as she whispered (D7) manana, 
  
Never dreaming that we were part-(G)ing,  

And I lied as I whispered man-(D7)ana,  

For our tomorrow never (G) came. 
  

VERSE THREE 

South of the (G) border, I (D7) rode back one (G) day,  

There in a veil of white,  

by (Bbdim7) candle light,...she knelt to (D7) pray. 
  
The mission bells told (G) me,..(G7) that I musn't (C) stay,  

South of the (G) border, (D7) down Mexico (G) way.
