El Paso [D]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
