I [A] was in love but in vain [D] I could tell.
[G] One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the West [D] Texas way.
Thrashing and daring a drink he was sharing with wicked Polina, the girl [G] that I loved.
So [A] in anger I [D] challenged his right [Em] for the love of his mate, [A] and I went his hand for the gun [D] that he wore.
My challenge was [Em] answered in less than a heartbeat, [A] I had some young stranger laid dead [D] on the floor.
Just for a moment [Em] I stood there in silence, [A] shocked by the vile of a deed [D] I had done.
Many thoughts raced through [Em] my mind as I stood there, [A] I had but one chance and that was [D] to run.
[F#]
[G] Out through the back door roses I ran, out where the horses [D] were tied.
I caught a good one it looked like it could run, up on its back and away [G] I did ride.
Just as [A] fast as I could prove the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso, out to the badlands of New [D] Mexico.
Back in El Paso [Em] my life would be worthless, [A] everything's gone and life [D] nothing is left.
It's been so long [Em] since I've seen the young lady, [A] my love is stronger than my [D] fear of death.
[G] I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in [D] the dark.
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me, tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my [G] throat.
And at [A] last here I [D] am on the hill [Em] overlooking El [A] Paso, I can see roses cantina [D] below.
My love is strong [Em] and it pushes me [A] onward, down off the hill to [D] Felina I go.
Off to my right [Em] I see three mounted [A] cowboys, off to my left, right a [D] couple or more.
Shouting and shooting [Em] I can't let them catch me, [A] I have to make it to roses [D] back door.
[G] Something is dreadfully wrong for I fear, for the burning pain in my [D] side.
[Am] Though I am trying [D] to stay in the saddle, I'm getting weary, unable [G] to ride.
But my [A] love for Felina is strong [Em] and I rise where I've fallen.
[A] Though I am weary I [D] can't stop to rest.
I see the white [Em] puff of smoke from the rifle, [A] I feel the bullet go [D] deep in my chest.
From out of [Em] nowhere Felina has found [A] me, kissing my cheek as she kneels [D] by my side.
Cradled by two [Em] loving arms that I'll die [A] for, one little kiss and [A] Felina, [Em] good night.
