Gene Autry
South of the Border
# South Of The Border As sung by Gene Autry South Of The Border [Bb] Ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb] ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb] South of the [Bb] border, down [F7] Mexico [Bb] way. [F7] That's where I [F7] fell in love when the [Dm]stars above came [F7] out to play. And now as I wander,[Bb7] my thoughts ever [Eb]stray, South of the [Bb] border, [F7] down Mexico [Bb] way. She was a vision in old spanish lace. And for a tender while, I kissed the smile upon her face. For it was fiesta and we were so gay, South of the border, down Mexico way. [Bb] Then she smiled as she whispered [F7] manana, Never dreaming that we were part-[Bb]ing, And I lied as I whispered man-[F7]ana, For our tomorrow never [Bb] came. South of the border, I rode back one day, There in a veil of white, by candle light, she knelt to pray. The mission bells told me, that I musn't stay, South of the border, down Mexico way. Tag ay ay ay ay, ay ay ay ay. ay ay ay ay, ay ay ay ay.
