[C] [F] [C]
[F] [C]
From 30,000 feet above the [F] desert floor I see [C] it there below
[G] [C] A [Em]
city [C] with a legend, the West Texas city of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a [F] song about a Texas cowboy [C] and a girl
And a little place called Rose is [B] where he used to [G] go and watch this [Em] beauty world
[C] I don't recall who sang the song but [F] 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 by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] The cowboy lived and rode away but love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die and [C] 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 I [C] don't understand
My mind is down there somewhere as [F] 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 it be that man [F] can disappear from life [G] and live another [Em]
time?
[C] And does the mystery deepen cause [G] you think that you yourself [Em] lived in that other [C] time?
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts [F] familiar scenes and memories [C]
unfold
These wild and unexplained emotions [F] that I've had so long but [C] I have never told
Like every time I fly up through [F] the heavens and I see [C] you 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 [C] sand so long ago?
[E] El [F] Paso City by the [C] Rio Grande
[G] A voice tells me to go and sleep, another voice keeps telling me
Maybe death awaits me in [C] El Paso
El [F] Paso City
