[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 the 30 [D] note world
Blacker than night [Em] were the eyes of Felina [A] Wicked and evil while [D] casting a spell
While I was thief for [Em] this Mexican maiden [A] I was in love but in [D] vain I could tell
One [G] night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West [D] Texas wind
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina [G] the girl that I loved

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