Misc. - El paso

^COut in the West Texas ^Dmtown of El Paso ^G7I fell in love with a Mexican ^Cgirl. ^CNighttime would find me in ^DmRosa's Cantina, G7 C F|C Music would play and Felina would whirl. ^CBlack as the night were the ^Dmeyes of Felina, G7 C F|C Wicked and evil while casting a spell. ^CMy love was strong for this ^DmMexican maiden, G7 C F|C I was in love, but in vain I could tell. ^FOne night a wild young ^Bbcowboy came ^Fin, wild as the ^BbWest Texas ^C7wind... ^C7Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, With wicked Felina, the girl that I ^Flove. So in ^Gan - ^G7ger I ^Cchallenged his right for the ^Dmlove of this ^G7maiden; Down went his hand for the gun that he ^Cwore. My challenge was answered, ^Dmin less than a heartbeat ^GThe handsome young stranger lay dead on the ^Cfloor. Just for a moment I ^Dmstood there in silence, ^GShocked by the foul evil deed I had ^Cdone. Many thoughts ran through my ^Dmmind as I stood there; ^GI had but one chance and that was to ^Crun. ^FOut through the back door of ^BbRose's I ^Fran, out where the ^Bbhorses were ^C7tied... ^C7I picked a good one; he looked like he could run, Up on his back and away I did ^Fride. Just as ^Cfast as I could from the ^DmWest Texas town of El Paso, ^GOut thru the badlands of New Mexi^Cco. Back in El Paso my ^Dmlife would be worthless; ^GEverything's gone in life nothing is ^Cleft. ^CBut it's been so long since I've ^Dmseen the young maiden, ^GMy love is stronger that my fear of ^Cdeath. ^FI saddled up and ^Bbaway I did ^Fgo, riding ^Bbalone in the ^C7dark...

Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my ^Fheart. ^CAnd as last here I am on the hill overlo^Dmoking El Paso, ^GI can see Rose's Cantina ^Cbelow. My love is strong and it ^Dmpushes me onward, ^Gdown off the hill to Felina I ^Cgo. ^COff to my right I see ^Dmfive mounted cowboys, ^GOff to my left ride a dozen or ^Cmore. ^Cshouting and shooting; ^DmI can't let them catch me, ^GI've got to make it to Rose's back ^Cdoor. ^FSomething is dreadfully ^Bbwrong for I ^Ffeel a deep burning ^Bbpain in my ^C7side...

I'm getting weary, unable to ^Fride. ^CBut my love for Felina is strong and I ^Dmrise where I've fallen; ^GThough I am weary, I can't stop to ^Crest. ^CI see the white puff of ^Dmsmoke from the rifle, ^GI feel the bullet go deep in my ^Cchest. ^C>From out of nowhe^Dmre, Felina has found me, ^GKissing my cheek as she ^Ckneels by my side. ^CCradled by two loving ^Dmarms that I'll die for, ^GOne little kiss and Felina ^Cgoodbye.
