Intro: D Em Bm A Em D
D Em
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
A7 D
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Em
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
A7 D
Music would play and Felina would whirl
D Em
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
A7 D
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
Em
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
A7 D
I was in love, but in vain I could tell
G
One night a wild young cowboy came in
D D7
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
G
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved
A7 D
So in anger I challenged his right
Em
for the love of this maiden
A7 D
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
Em
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
A7 D
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
D Em
Just for a moment I stood there In silence
A7 D
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Em
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
A7 D
I had but one chance and that was to run
G
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
D D7
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
G
Up on its back and away I did ride
A7 D
Just as fast as I could from the
Em
West Texas town of El Paso
A7 D
Out to the badlands of New Mexico
Em
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
A7 D
Everything's gone; in life nothing is left
Em
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
A7 D
My love is stronger than my fear of death
G
I saddled up and away I did go
D D7
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
G
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
A7 D Em
And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
A7 D
I can see Rosa's Cantina below
Em
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
A7 D
Down off the hill to Felina I go
D Em
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
A7 D
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Em
Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me
A7 D
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
G
Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel
D D7
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
G
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
A7 D Em
But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
A7 D
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
Em
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
A7 D
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
D Em
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
A7 D
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Em
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
A7 D
One little kiss, then Felina good-bye
