[D]
[Em] [A]
[D] Out of the west [Em] Texas town of El Paso [A] I fell in love with a [D] Mexican girl
Night time would find me [Em] in Rose's Cantina [A] Music would play at Polina [D] Wood World
Blacker than night were [Em] the eyes of Polina [A] Looking at Ivo I [D] gasped in a scream
My love was deep or [Em] this Mexican way [A] I was in love but in vain I [D] could tell
[G] One night on wire, [D]
dancing and daring A drink he was sharing with wicked Polina
The girl [G] that I loved, [Em] so in anger [D] [Em]
[A] [D]
My challenge was answered [Em] in less than a heartbeat
[A] The handsome young stranger lay dead [D] on the floor Just for a moment [Em] I stood there in silence
[A] Shocked for the foul evil deed [D] I had done Many thoughts [Em] raced through my mind as I stood there
[A] I had but one chance and that was [D] to run Out
[G] through the back door of Rose's I ran
Just [D]
[G] [A] as [C#] fast as [D]
[Em] [A] a New [D] Mexico Back in El Paso [Em] my life would be worthless
[A] Everything's gone and I've nothing [D] It's been so [Em] long since I've seen the young maid
[A] My love is stronger than my fear [D] of death I'd [G] set it up and away I'd go
[D]
Maybe tomorrow I'll fall
[G] [A] and at last I'll [D] be up the hill [Em] over
[A] I can see Rose's [D] Cantina below My love is strong, [Em] it pushes me onward
[A] Down up the hill to Polina [D] I go On to my right I [Em] see five mounted [A] cowboys
On to my [D]
left I see a man shouting and shooting I [Em] can't let them catch me [A] I have to make it to Rose's [D] back door
[G] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain [D] in my soul
I'm getting weary, unable [G] to drive [A] [D]
[Em] [A] I can't [D] stop to grieve
I see the white puff [Em] of smoke from the rifles [A] I feel the bullet go deep [D] in my chest
From out of nowhere [Em] Polina has found me [A] Kissing my cheek as she deals [D] by my side
Cradled by two [Em] loving arms [A] [Em] I kiss and pull [A] in awe
[C#] [D] [Em] [A] [G] [D]
