Out in the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso [A] I fell in love with a [D] Mexican girl
Nighttime would find [Gm] me in [Em] Rose's [A] Cantina music would play and Felina [D] would whirl
Blacker than night were [Em] the eyes of Felina [A] wicked and evil while [D] casting a spell
My love was deep [Em] for this Mexican maiden [D] I was in love but in 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 the [G] girl [Em] that I loved so [G] in anger
[D] I challenged his right for [Em] the love of this maiden [A] down with his hand for the gun [D] that he wore
My challenge was answered [Em] in less than a heartbeat [A] the handsome [Em] young stranger [D] laid dead on the floor
[G] Out through the back door of Rose's I ran out where the horses [D] were tired
I
Caught a good one.
It looked like it could run up on its back in a way [Em] I did right
Just as [A] [D] fast as I could from the West [Em] Texas town of El Paso
[A] back to the [G] badlands of New [D] Mexico
Back in El Paso [Em] my life would be worthless
[A] Everything's gone in life.
Nothing [D] is left
It's been so long since [Em] I've seen the young me [A] my love is [D] stronger than my fear of death [G] I
Saddle up and away I did go riding alone [D] in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me tonight.
Nothing's worse than this [G] pain in my heart and
[A] At last here [D] I am on the hill [Em] overlooking El Paso [A] I can see Rose's cantina [D] below
My love is strong and [Em] 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 to my left right a [D] dozen or more
Shouting and shooting [Em] I can't let them catch [A] me.
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
Felina is strong and [Em] I rise where I fall [A] though.
I am weary.
I [D] can't stop to rest I
See the white puff [Em] of smoke from the [A] rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in [D] my chest
From out of nowhere [Em] Felina has [A] found me kissing my cheek as she [D] kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving [Em] arms that I'll die for [A] one little kiss and Felina [B] Good
[F#m] [D]
