El Paso Chords by Marty Robbins

[D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Out in the West [Em] Texas town of El [A] Paso I fell in love with a Mexican [D] girl
_ Night _ time would find me [Em] in Rose's Cantina [A]
Music would play and Felina [D] would whirl _ _ _
_ Blacker than night [Em] were the eyes of Felina [A] Wicked and evil while [D] casting a spell _ _
_ My love was [Em] deep for this Mexican [D] maiden I was in love but in vain I could tell _
One _ [G] night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West [Dm] Texas _ _ _ wind
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina the girl [Em] that I loved
[B] So in anger [D] I challenged his right [Em] For the love of this maiden
[A] Down with his hand for [D] the gun that he wore
_ _ My challenge was [Em] answered in less than a heartbeat
[A] The [Em] handsome young [D] stranger lay dead on the floor
_ Out [G]
through the back door of Rose's I ran Out where the [D] horses were tied _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I caught a good one it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away [G] I did ride Just as [A] [D] fast as I could
From the West [Em] Texas town of El Paso [A] Out to the [G] badlands of New [D] Mexico _
_ Back _ in El Paso [Em] my life would be worthless [A] _ Everything's gone in [D] life nothing is left
_ _ _ _ It's been so long [Em] since I've seen the young maiden
[A] My [G] love is stronger [B] than my fear of [D]
death
I _ [G] _ saddled up and away I did go Riding alone [Dm] in the _ dark
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain [G] in my heart
[D] And at last here I am on the hill [Em] Overlooking El Paso
[A] I can see Rose's cantina [D] below _ My _ love is strong [Em] and it pushes me onward
Down [A] off the hill to [D] Felina I go _ Off _ to my right I [Em] see five mounted [A] cowboys
Off to my left right a [D] dozen or more _ _
_ Shouting and shooting [Em] I can't let them catch me
[A] I have to make it to [D] Rose's back door
_ Something _ [G] is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in [D] my _ _ _ _ side
_ _ _ Though I am trying to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary unable [G] to ride
But [A] my love [D] for Felina is [Em] strong when I rise where I've fallen
Though I [D] am weary I can't stop to rest
_ I see the white [Em] puff of smoke from the rifle [A] I feel the bullet go [D] deep in my _ chest
_ From out of [Em] nowhere Felina has found [A] me Kissing my cheek as she [D] kneels by my _ side
_ Bradled by two [Em] loving arms that I'll die [A] for One little kiss and Felina _ goodbye
