_ From 30,000 feet above

G _
C _ .
A city with a legend,
F the West Texas
C city of El _ Paso _ .
Where _ long ago I heard a
F song about a
Am Texas cowboy and a
C girl _ _ _ _ .
_ And a little place called Rose is
B where he used to go and watch this
Em beauty world.
C 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 and
C every word _ _ _ .
_ The singer sang about a
F jealous cowboy and the
Am way he used a _ gun.
C _ .
To _ kill another cowboy
G then he had to leave El Paso
C on the run _ _ .
El
F Paso City, _ _ _
C by the 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
F as I 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 _
Em it be that
Gm man can
F disappear from life and
G live
Em another
Am _
C time?
_ _ .
_ And does the mystery deepen
G cause you think that you
Em yourself lived in that other
C time?
_ _ .
_ _ Somewhere in my deepest thoughts
F familiar scenes and memories
C 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
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?.
_ _
E El
F Paso City, _ _ _ by
C the Rio _ Grande.
_ _ _
G A voice tells me to go and see another voice keeps telling me.
Baby death awaits me
C in El _ Paso _ .
