Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
From [C]thirty thousand feet above
[F]the desert floor I see it there [C]below
A city with a legend,
[F]the West Texas city of El Pas[C]o
Where long ago I heard a song [F]about
a Texas cowboy and a [C]girl
And a little place called Rosa's where he
[G]used to go and watch this beauty [C]whirl

[Verse 2]
I [C]don't recall who sang the song but
[F]I recall a story that I[C] heard
And as I look down on this city [F]I remember
each and [C]every word
The singer sang about a jealous
[F]cowboy and the way he used a [C]gun
To kill another cowboy,
then he [G]had to leave El Paso on the [C]run

[Verse 3]
El Paso [F]City
By the Rio [C]Grande
[G]The cowboy lived and rode away but
love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El [C]Paso sand
El Paso [F]City
By the Rio [C]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 don't [C]understand

[Verse 4]
[C]My mind is down there somewhere as
[F]I fly above the badlands of New [C]Mexico
I can't explain why I should know [F]the very
trail he rode back to [C]El Paso
Can it be that man can disap[F]pear
from life and live another [C]time
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you [G]think that
you yourself lived in that other [C]time

[Verse 5]
[C]Somewhere in my deepest thoughts famil
[F]iar scenes and memories [C]unfold
These wild and unexplained emotions [F]that I've had so long,
but I [C]have never told
Like everytime I fly up through the
[F]heavens and I see you there [C]below
I get the feeling sometime in an
[G]other world I lived in El Paso
[C]

[Verse 6]
El Paso [F]City
By the Rio [C]Grande
[G]Could it be that I could be
the cowboy in the mystery
That died there in that
desert sand so [C]long ago
El Paso [F]City
By the Rio [C]Grande
A [G]voice tells me to go and seek,
another voice keeps telling me
Maybe death awaits me in El [C]Paso

[Verse 7]
El Paso [F]City

[Outro 1]
