[Verse 1]
[D]Out in the West Texas [Em]town of El Paso
[A]I fell in love with a Mexican g[D]irl
[D]Nighttime would find me in [Em]Rosa's Cantina
[A]Music would play and Feleena would [D]whirl

[Verse 2]
[D]Blacker than night were the [Em]eyes of Feleena
[A]Wicked and evil while casting a [D]spell
[D]My love was deep for this [Em]Mexican maiden
[A]I was in love, but in vain, I could t[D]ell

[Bridge 1]
[G]One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas [D]wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With [D]wicked Feleena, the girl that I [G]loved
So in [A]anger

[Verse 3]
I [D]challenged challenged his right
for the [Em]love of this maiden
[A]Down went his hand for the gun that he [D]wore
My [D]challenge was answered
in [Em]less than a heartbeat
The [A]handsome young stranger lay dead
on the [D]floor

[Bridge 2]
[G]Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were [D]tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
[D]Up on its back, and away I did [G]ride
Just as [A]fast

[Verse 4]
as I [D]could from the West Texas
[Em]town of El Paso
[A]Out to the badlands of New Mexi[D]co
[D]Back in El Paso my [Em]life would be worthless
[A]Everything's gone in life, nothing is [D]left

[Verse 5]
[D]It's been so long
since I've [Em]seen the young maiden
[A]My love is stronger than my fear of [D]death

[Bridge 3]
[G]I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the [D]dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
To[D]night nothing's worse
than this pain in my [G]heart
And at [A]last

[Verse 6]
here I [D]am on the hill over[Em]looking El Paso
[A]I can see Rosa's Cantina bel[D]ow
[D]My love is strong and it [Em]pushes me onward
[A]Down off the hill to Feleena I [D]go

[Verse 7]
[D]Off to my right I see [Em]five mounted cowboys
[A]Off to my left ride a dozen or [D]more
[D]Shouting and shooting,
I [Em]can't let them catch me
[A]I have to make it to Rosa's back I d[D]oor

[Bridge 4]
[G]Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my [D]side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
[D]I'm getting weary, unable to [G]ride
But my [A]love

[Verse 8]
for Fe[D]leena is strong and I [Em]rise where I've fallen
[A]Though I am weary, I can't stop to [D]rest
[D]I see the white puff of s[Em]moke from the rifle
[A]I feel the bullet go deep in my c[D]hest

[Verse 9]
[D]From out of nowhere Fe[Em]leena has found me
[A]Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my [D]side
[D]Cradled by two loving [Em]arms that I'll die for
[A]One little kiss, and Feleena, good[D]bye
