El Paso - Marty Robbins
Intro:
[D]
Verse 1:
[D] Out in the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso
[A7] I fell in love with a Mexican [D] girl
[D] Night-time would find me in [Em] Rosa's cantina
[A7] Music would play and Felina would [D] whirl
Verse 2:
[D] Blacker than night were the [Em] eyes of Felina
[A7] Wicked and evil while casting a [D] spell
[D] My love was deep for this [Em] Mexican maiden
[A7] I was in love but in vain, I could [D] tell
Bridge:
[G] One night a wild young cowboy came [G] in
Wild as the West Texas [D] win-n-n-[D7]-nd
[D7] Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
[D7] With wicked Felina, the girl that I [G] loved
So in [A7] an-n-ger
Verse 3:
I [D] Challenged his right for the [Em] love of this maiden
[A7] Down went his hand for the gun that he [D] wore
[D] My challenge was answered in [Em] less than a heart-beat
[A7] The handsome young stranger lay dead on the [D] floor
Verse 4:
[D] Just for a moment I [Em] stood there in silence
[A7] Shocked by the foul evil deed I had [D] done
[D] Many thoughts raced through my [Em] mind as I stood there
[A7] I had but one chance and that was to [D] run
Bridge:
[G] Out through the back door of Rosa's I [G] ran
Out where the horses were [D] ti-i-i-[D7]-ied
[D7] I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
[D7] Up on its back, and away I did [G] ride
But my [A7] lo-o-ve for
Verse 5:
[D] Felina is strong and I [Em] rise where I've fallen
[A7] Though I am weary I can't stop to [D] rest
[D] I see the white puff of smoke [Em] from the rifle
[A7] I feel the bullet go deep in my [D] chest
Verse 6:
[D] From out of nowhere [Em] Felina has found me
[A7] Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my [D] side
[D] Cradled by two loving arms [Em] that I'll die for
[Slowing]
[A7] One little kiss and Felina, good-[D*]bye
