Chris Isaak - South Of The Border Chords

[Intro]
| G*         |
 
[Chorus 1]
             G       D7            G         G
South of the border,   down Mexico way,
               G                 G                D7          D7
that's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play.
             G       G                  C        C
And now as I wonder,   my thoughts ever stray,
             G       D7            G        G
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
 
[Chorus 2]
          G       D7               G            G
She was a picture   in old Spanish ways,
           G              G                 D7          D7
just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face.
             G    G                  C          C
For it was fiesta   and love had its days,
             G       D7            G        G
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
 
[Interlude]
     D   D      G       G
Ayayaya,   ayayaya.
 
[Verse]
         G                          D
Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana",
      D7                    G
never dreaming that we were parting.
      G                      C
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"
          G      D7      G*
for our tomorrow   never came.
 
[Solo] (Chorus)
| G          | D          | G          | G          |
| G          | G          | D          | D          |
| G          | G          | C          | C          |
| G          | D          | G          | G*         |
 
[Chorus 3]
             G      D7                G            G
South of the border   I rode back one day,
           G                 G                D7             D7
there in a veil of white, by candlelight, she kneeled to pray.
                  G         G                  C          C
The mission bells   told me   that I shouldn't stay
             G       D7            G        G*
South of the border,   down Mexico way.
 
[Outro]
     D   D      G           G
Ayayaya,   ayayaya.
     D   D              G       G*
Ayayaya,   goodbye, goodbye.
