El Paso Chords by Pat Boone

[Am] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ Out in the West [Dm] Texas town of El Paso [G] I fell in love with a [C] Mexican _ girl _
_ _ _ _ Night time would find me [Dm] in Rosa's Cantina [G] Music would play and Felina [C] would _ _ whirr
_ _ _ _ Blacker than night were [Dm] the eyes of Felina [G] Wicked and evil while casting [Am] her spell
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ My love was deep for [Dm] this Mexican maiden [G] I was in love but in vain I [C] could tell _
_ One _ _ [F] _ night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as [Bb] the West [Gm] Texas _ _ _ _ winds _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Dashing and daring and drink he was sharing [C] With wicked Felina the girl [F] that I loved
So [G] in _ [F] anger I [C] challenged his right For [Dm] the love of this maiden
[G] Down with his hand for the gun [C] that he wore _
_ _ My _ challenge was [Dm] answered in less than a heartbeat [G] The handsome young stranger lay dead [C] on the _ floor
_ _ Just _ _ for a moment [Dm] I stood there in silence [G] Shocked by the foul evil [B] deed [C] I had done _
_ _ _ _ _ Many thoughts raced [Dm] through my mind as I stood there [G] I had but one chance [B] and that was [C] to run _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the [Bb] horses were [E] _ _ _ tied
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ I _ _ caught a good one it looked like it could run Up on its back and away I did [F] ride
Just [G] as fast [Am] as I could from the West Texas [Dm] town of El Paso [G] Out to the badlands of New [C] Mexico _ _ _
_ Back _ _ in El Paso [Dm] my life would be worthless [G] _ _
Everything's gone and life nothing [C] is left _
_ _ _ _ It's been so long since [Dm] I've seen the young maiden [G] My love is stronger than my fear [C] of death _
_ _ _ _ [F] I saddled up and away I did go Riding [Bb] alone in [C] the _ _ _ _ dark _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Maybe _ _ tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in [F] my heart
[G] And at _ last here [C] I am on the hill [Dm] _ Overlooking El [G] Paso I can see Rosa's [B] Cantina [C] below _ _ _
My _ _ _ love is strong and [Dm] it pushes me [G] onward Down off the hill to Felina [C] I _ go
_ _ _ _ _ Off to my right I [Dm] see five mounted [G] cowboys Off to my left, right a dozen [C] or _ more
_ _ _ _ _ Shouting and shooting [Dm] I can't let them catch [G] me I have to make it to Rosa's [C] back door _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep [Bb] burning pain in [C] my [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] side _ _ _
