[Em] [A]
[D]
Out in the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso [A] I fell in love with a Mexican [D] girl
Night time would find me [Em] in Rose's Cantina Music would play and 30 [D] nude would whirl
Blacker than [Bm] night were the eyes of Felina Wicked [A] and evil while casting a [D] spell
My love was deep for this [Em] Mexican maiden [A] I was in love but in vain I could tell
[G] One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas [Dm] wind
[D] Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina the girl that [Em] I loved
So [A] in anger [D] I challenged his right For [E] the love of this maiden
[A] Down put his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in [Em] less than a heartbeat The handsome [Em] young stranger [D] lay dead and poor
[G] Out 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 [Em] I did ride
Just as [A] fast [D] as I could from the West [Em] Texas town of El [A] Paso Back to the madlands of New Mexico
[D] Back in El [Em] Paso my life would be [A] worthless Everything's gone in life nothing [D] is left
It's been so long [Em] since I've seen the young maiden [A] My love is stronger [A] than my fear of [D] death
[G] I saddle up and away I did go Riding [D] alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain [G] in my heart
And at [A] last here [D] I am on the [Em] hill Overlooking El Paso I can see Rose's [D] cantina below
My love is strong [Em] and it pushes me onward [A] Down off the hill to [D] Felina I go
Off to my right I see [Em] five mounted cowboys [A] Off to my left right a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting [Em] I can't let them catch me I [B] have to make it to [D] Rose's back door
[G] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary unable to ride
[A] But my love for Felina is strong and I [Em] rise where I've fallen Though I am weary [A] I can't stop [D] to rest
I see the white puff [Em] of smoke from the rifle [A] I feel the bullet go deep [D] in my chest
From out of [Em] nowhere Felina has found [A] me Kissing [E] my cheek and she [D] kneels by my side
Bridled by [Em] two loving arms that I'll die for [A] One little kiss and Felina [F#m] [B] goodbye
