[C]
From 30,000 feet above the [F] desert floor I see [C] it there below
[G] [C] A city with a legend, [F] the West Texas city [C] of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a [F] song about a Texas cowboy [C] and a girl
And a little place called Rose is [G] where he used to go and watch this beauty [C] world
I don't recall who sang the [F] song but I recall the story [C] that I heard
And as I look down on this [F] city I remember each [C] and every word
The singer sang about a [F] jealous cowboy and the way [C] he used to go
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 [C] and 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 [C] I don't understand
My mind is down there somewhere as I [F] fly above the badlands [C] of New Mexico
I can't explain why I should know the very trail he rode back to El Paso
Can it be that man can [F] disappear from life and live [C] another time?
And does the mystery deepen cause [G] you think that you yourself lived in [C] that other 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 but [C] 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 [G] sometime 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 [C] sand so 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 in [C] El Paso
El [F]
