El Paso

Simplificar Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste D Em Out in the West Texas town of El Paso A7 D I fell in love with a Mexican girl. D Em Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina, A7 D Music would play and Feleena would whirl. D Em Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena, A7 D Wicked and evil while casting a spell. D Em My love was deep for this Mexican maiden, A7 D D7 I was in love, but in vain I could tell. G One night a wild young cowboy came in, G D D7 Wild as the West Texas wind. D7 Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, D7 G With wicked Feleena, the girl that I love. A7 So in anger D Em I challenged his right for the love of this maiden; A7 D Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. D Em My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat A7 D The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. D Em Just for a moment I stood there in silence, A7 D Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done. D Em Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there; A7 D D7 I had but one chance and that was to run. G Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran, G D D7 Out where the horses were tied. D7 I caught a good one; it looked like it could run, D7 G Up on its back and away I did ride. A7 Just as fast as I D Em could from the West Texas town of El Paso, A7 D Out to the badlands of New Mexico. D Em Back in El Paso my life would be worthless; A7 D Everything's gone in life, nothing is left. D Em It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden, A7 D D7 My love is stronger than my fear of death. G I saddled up and away I did go, G D D7 Riding alone in the dark. D7 Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, D7 G Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart. A7 And at last here D Em I am on the hill overlooking El Paso, A7 D I can see Rosa's Cantina below. D Em My love is strong and it pushes me onward, A7 D Down off the hill to Feleena I go. D Em Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, A7 D Off to my left ride a dozen and more. D Em Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me, A7 D D7 I have to make it to Rosa's back door. G Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel G D D7 A deep burning pain in my side. D7 Though I am trying to stay in the saddle. D7 G I'm getting weary, unable to ride. A7 But my love for D Em Feleena is strong and I rise where I've fallen; A7 D Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest. D Em I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle, A7 D I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. D Em From out of nowhere, Feleena has found me, A7 D Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. D Em Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, A7 D One little kiss and Feleena goodbye.
