[C] [F]
[C] [F]
[C]
From 30,000 feet above the [F] desert floor I see what's [C] below.
[Gm] [F] [C]
City with a legend, [F] the West Texas city of [C] El Paso.
[Dm] [C]
Where long ago I heard a [F] song about a Texas cowboy [C] and a girl.
And a little place called Roses [G] where he used to go and watch this [C] beauty whirl.
I don't recall him saying the [F] song but I recall the story [C] that I heard.
And as I look down on the [F] city I remember each [C] and 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.
[F] El Paso City, why [C] the Rio Grande?
The [G] cowboy lived and rode away but love [Dm] was strong he couldn't [G] stay.
He rode back just to die in that [C] El Paso city.
[F] El Paso City, why [C] the Rio Grande?
[Am] [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 [F] as I fly above the [C] badlands of New Mexico.
Can't explain why I should [F] know the very trail he rode back to [C] El Paso.
Can it be the man can [F] disappear from life and live [C] another time?
[G] [C]
And does the mystery deepen [G] because you think that you shall live [C] in that other time?
[Am]
[C] Somewhere in my deepest [F] thoughts familiar scenes and [C] memories unfold.
These wild and unexplained [F] emotions that I've had so long [C] but I have never told.
Like every time I fly up through [F] the heavens and I see you [C] there below.
I get the feeling sometime in [G] another world I lived in El [C] Paso.
El [F] Paso City, why [C] the Rio Grande?
[G] Could it be that I could be the cowboy in this mystery that died there in that desert sand [C] so long ago?
El [F] Paso City, why [C] the Rio Grande?
[G] A voice tells me to go and see, another voice keeps telling me baby death awaits me in [C] El Paso.
El [F] Paso City.
[G] [C]
