[Em] _ [D] Out in the West [Em] Texas town of El [A] Paso, I fell in love with a [D] Mexican girl. _ _
_ At night we'd find her [Em] in Rosa's Cantina, [A] music would play and Felina [D] would whirl. _ _
_ _ Black as the night [Em] were the eyes of Felina, [A] good and evil while casting [D] a spell. _
_ _ _ My love was strong [Em] for this Mexican lady, [A] I was in love but in vain I [D] could tell.
_ [Am] _ _ [G] One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as [C] the West [D] Texas _ _ breeze.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [D] Riding in the ferry the drink he would share, looking at Felina the girl that [G] I loved.
[A] So in anger, [D] the gallant is right for [Em] the love of his mate, [A] found what his hand for the [D] gun that he wore. _ _
_ _ [D] _ His answer [Em] would be less than a [A] hearty, as the young stranger laid dead [D] on the floor. _
_ _ Just for a moment [Em] I stood there in silence, [A] but I found evil to [D] be that thing. _
_ _ _ And as thoughts raced through my [Em] mind as I stepped back, [A] I had the fortune that was [D] divine. _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] Out through the back of Rosa I ran, where the horses [D] were tied.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] I picked a good one, he looked like a good one, he was back in the way [G] I didn't like.
[A] My eyes gazed [D] out, but from the West [Em] Texas town of El Paso, [A]
I was through the battle and the new Mexico.

[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ Back in El Paso, [Em] my life would be worthless, [A] everything is gone and life and [D] nothing is left. _
_ _ In soul [Em] losses I've seen the young [A] man, he's stronger than my [D] fear of death. _
_ _ [G] I'd rattle up in a way I could go, riding alone in [D] Mexico. _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Tomorrow, a bullet may run _ worse than this [G] baby's mouth.
[A] And at the last gear [D] I'll go ahead [Em] over the look of El Paso, [A] see where roses can't be [D] found.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] My love's strong, [Em] be it hard [A] work, or the hills of the valley [D] that I go.
_ _ _ _ My right, [Em] my mountain cowboys, [A] my left, my [D] horsemen.
_ _ _ _ _ Shouting at ships, [Em] can't lift a can, [A] got to make it through the [D] back door.
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ This death or your own, I feel, [Am] a need for a day [D] in my _ side.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [D] I'm learning harder to stand the step, I'm getting weary, unable [G] to ride.
[A] But my love [D] for me is [Em] strong and I rise above [A]
the white imperial [D] headstock.
And I _
[Em] _ [D] see the white [Em] blood smoke from the rifle, [A]
feel the bullet [D] go deep in my chest. _ _ _
I know that no one [Em] really has found [A] it, grazing my cheek as she [D] kneels by my side. _ _ _
[D] Little part [Em] of me runs around and [A] around, little kiss and farewell, _ _ goodbye. _
