[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C]
From 30,000 feet above [F] the desert floor I see it [C] there below
[G] [C]
A city with a legend, [F] the West Texas city of [C] El Paso
Where long ago I heard a song [F] about a Texas cowboy [C] and a girl
And a little place called Rose is [Bm] where he used to go [G] and watch this [C] beauty world
I don't recall who sang the song [F] but I recall the story [C] that I heard
And as I look down on this [F] city I remember each and [C] every word
The singer sang about a [F] jealous cowboy and the way he [C] used a gun
To kill another cowboy [G] then he had to leave El Paso [C] on the run
El [F] 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 and [C] that El Paso said
El [F] Paso City, by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] I try not to let you cross my mind but still I find there's such a mystery
In the song that I [C] don't understand
My mind is down there somewhere as [F] I fly above the badlands [C] of New Mexico
I can't explain why I shouldn't know the very trail he rode back to El Paso
Can it be that man [G] can [F] disappear from life and live [Em] another [C] time?
And does the mystery deepen [G] cause you think that you yourself lived in [Em] that other [C] time?
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts [F] familiar scenes and memories [C] unfold
These wild and unexplained emotions [F] that I've had so long [C] but I have never told
Like every time I fly up [F] through the heavens and I see you [C] there below
I get the feeling sometime [G] in another world I lived in [C] El Paso
El [F] Paso City, by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] Could it be that I could be the cowboy in this mystery that died there in that desert sand so [C] long ago?
El [F] Paso City, by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] A voice tells me to go and see another voice keeps telling me
Maybe death awaits me [C] in El Paso
El [F] Paso City
