  El Paso - Marty Robbins

  =======================

  C                     Dm              G7                            C    

  Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

  C                          Dm

  Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina,

  G7                                C       F|C

  Music would play and Felina would whirl.

  C                           Dm

  Black as the night were the eyes of Felina,

  G7                              C      F|C

  Wicked and evil while casting a spell.

  C                           Dm

  My love was strong for this Mexican maiden,

  G7                                 C      F|C

  I was in love, but in vain I could tell.

  F                      Bb          F               Bb         C7

  One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the West Texas wind...

  C7

  Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing,

                                      F

  With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.

        G    G7    C                            Dm           G7

  So in an - ger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden;

                                         C

  Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.

                             Dm

  My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat

  G                                           C

  The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

                      Dm

  Just for a moment I stood there in silence,

  G                                   C

  Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done.

                               Dm

  Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there;

  G                                    C

  I had but one chance and that was to run.

  F                            Bb       F                  Bb          C7

  Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied...

  C7

  I picked a good one; he looked like he could run,

                                F

  Up on his back and away I did ride.

          C                        Dm

  Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso,

  G                                C

  Out thru the badlands of New Mexico.

                     Dm

  Back in El Paso my life would be worthless;

  G                                    C

  Everything's gone in life nothing is left.

  C                                Dm 

  But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden,

  G                                   C

  My love is stronger that my fear of death.

  F                Bb         F          Bb           C7

  I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark...

   

  Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,

                                               F

  Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart.

  C                                       Dm

  And as last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso,

  G                        C

  I can see Rose's Cantina below.

                           Dm                G                             C

  My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go.

  C                     Dm

  Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys,

  G                              C

  Off to my left ride a dozen or more.

  C                      Dm

  shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me,

  G                                  C

  I've got to make it to Rose's back door.

  F                       Bb          F                   Bb         C7

  Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my side...

   

  It's getting harder to stay in the saddle.

                               F

  I'm getting weary, unable to ride.

  C                                      Dm

  But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen;

  G                                  C

  Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest.

  C                       Dm

  I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle,

  G                               C

  I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

  C                    Dm

  >From out of nowhere, Felina has found me,

  G                       C

  Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.

  C                     Dm

  Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,

  G                          C

  One little kiss and Felina goodbye.
