As recorded by The Doobie Brothers

Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
There's a town south of the border
ch]Am[/ch
South of El Paso they say
ch]Am[/ch
Where the nights are long and the winds are warm
ch]Am[/ch
And the women they love to play
ch]Am[/ch
In an old adobe tavern
ch]Am[/ch
Mescal flows like water
ch]Am[/ch
And Rita will dance on your table so fine
ch]Am[/ch
You are bound to place your order
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to think about it
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to wonder
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Where I'm going to ride tonight
ch]E[/ch] N.C. [ch]Am[/ch
I'll be riding down the highway south of the border
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
As I ride into town and the dust settles down
ch]Am[/ch
And the mariachi music is playing
ch]Am[/ch
I buy me a room from a guy named Luis
ch]Am[/ch
It's just up the stairs and it's waiting
ch]Am[/ch
Downstairs Rita is dancing
ch]Am[/ch
Just the way her mother has taught her
ch]Am[/ch
So I settle down for the show and a beer
ch]Am[/ch
And wait for that mother's daughter
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to think about it
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to wonder

Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch
When the morning comes and I wake up
ch]Am[/ch
To the sounds of the people below
ch]Am[/ch
There's a note on my bed that is easily read
ch]Am[/ch
Buenos dias and a kiss when you go
ch]Am[/ch
As I ride out of town with my face to the sun
ch]Am[/ch
And the dust is trailing behind
ch]Am[/ch
Soon I'll go back to this sleepy old town
ch]Am[/ch
Back where I know I can find
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to think about it
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I don't have to wonder
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Where I'm going to ride tonight
ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
I'll be riding down the highway south of the border
