Chords for Marty Robbins "El Paso" 1978 Rotterdam Holland

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Out of the [Em] west Texas town of El [A] Paso I fell in love with a Mexican [D] girl
_ _ _ Night time with [Em] violin in a rose's [A] cantina Music would play and Polina [D] would whirl
_ _ _ _ Blacker than night [Em] were the eyes of [A] Polina Of good and evil while casting [D] a spell
_ _ _ _ My love was [Em] deep, was Mexican made [A] I was in love but in vain I [D] could tell
_ _ _ _ [G] One night a wild young cowboy came in While there's a west [D] Texas way _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Dashing and daring her drink he was sharing With wicked Polina the girl [G] that I loved
So in [A] anger [D] I challenged his [Em] rightful The love of this maiden
[A] Down with his hand for the gun [D] that he wore _ My _ challenge was [Em] answered in less than a heartbeat
[A] A young stranger laid dead on [D] the floor _
_ _ _ Just for a moment I [Em] stood there in [A] silence Shocked for the foul evil deed I [D] had done
_ _ _ Many thoughts raced through [Em] my mind as I stood [A] there I ever once sensed that that [D] was too much
_ _ _ [G] Out through the back door roses I ran Out where the horses [D] were _ tied _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I caught a good one it looked like it could run I punished my act in a way I [G] did right
Just [A] as fast as [D] I could from the west [Em] Texas town of El Paso
[A] Out to the badlands of New [D] Mexico _ Back _ _ in El Paso [Em] my life would be worthless
[A]
Everything's gone and life [D] nothing is left _ It's _ been so long [Em] since I've seen the young maiden
[A] My love is stronger than my [D] fear of death _ _ _
_ [G] I sat her up and away I did go Riding alone in the [D] dark
_ Maybe _ _ _ _ _ _ _
tomorrow a bullet will find us Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
And [A] at last [D] I am on the hill [Em] going through looking El Paso
[A] I can see Rose's Cantina [D] below
_ _ _ _ My love is [Em] strong and it pushes me [A] onward Down up the hill to Bolina [D] I go
_ _ _ Off to my right I see [Em] 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 manhole
_ _ _ _ [G]
Something is dreadfully wrong for I'm sure That he'd burn in pain [D] in my _ _ soul _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Though I am trying to stay in the sadness I'm getting weary unable [G] to rise
[A] But my love [D] for Bolina is strong [Em] and I rise to my promise Though I am weary I can't stop [D] to rest
_ _ _ I see the [Em] white one smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in [D] my chest
_ _ _ From out of nowhere [Em] Bolina is found [A] Kissing my cheek as she deals [D] my missile
_ _ _ _ Cradled by two [Em] loving arms and a tight [A] hook One little kiss and Bolina
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] Goodbye
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
