[B] [C]
[F] [C] [Em]
[F] [C]
From 30,000 feet [E] above the [F] desert floor I see it [C] there below
A city with a legend, [Em] [F] the west Texas city of [C] El Paso
Where long ago I heard [Em] a [F] song about a Texas cowboy [C] and a girl
In a little place called Rose is where [G] he used to go and watch this [C] beauty whirl
I don't recall who sang [E] the song [F] but I recall a story [C] that I heard
And as I look down on the city [F] I remember each [C] and every word
The singer sang [Em] about a [F] jealous cowboy and the way he [C] used a gun
To kill another cowboy that [Dm] he had to leave [G] El Paso [C] on the run
[F] El Paso City by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] The cowboy lived and rode away but love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die [C] in that El Paso sand
[Dm] El Paso City [F]
by [C] the Rio Grande
[G] I try not to let you cross my mind but still I find it
My [C]
mind is down there [E] somewhere [F] as I fly up from the [C] backlands of New [G] Mexico
[C] Up
[F] [C] to El Paso
[G] [C] And I can't believe [F] this is happening
[C] [G] Because [C]
[Dm] this is the [G] history of the [C] El Paso
Somewhere in my [E] deepest thought [F] I need to say
[G] I'm [C]
a man of my [G] [C] word
I've been through the [E] kind [F] of emotions that I've had
[C] But I haven't had the courage
Like every dove I'll fly up through [F] the heavens and see the [C] heaven [G] I've had
[C] I get the feeling sometimes [Dm] I'm just a [G] boy in a [C] yellow dress
[Am] El [F] Paso City by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] Gotta be the life that he's a cowboy in this mystery
Died there in that tennis land [C] so long ago
[Am]
El [F] Paso City by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] The boys got loose
Baby down to meet [C] a guest
You better go to the restroom
