Verse 1
D D 
 
Out in the
Em Em 
 
West Texas town of El Paso,
A A 
 
D D 
 
I  fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Nighttime would find me
Em Em 
 
in Rose's Cantina
A A 
 
Music would play and Felina
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
would whir
Black earth and night were
Em Em 
 
the eyes of Felina
A A 
 
D D 
 
Wicked and evil while cast in a spell
Asus4 Asus4 
 
D D 
 
My       love was deep
Em Em 
 
for this Mexican maiden,
A A 
 
D D 
 
I  was in love but in vain I could tell.
G G 
 
One night a wild young cowboy came in,
D D 
 
wild as the West Texas wind.
Dashin' and darin' a
A A 
 
D D 
 
drink he was sharin'
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
With wicked Felina, the girl that I love
A A 
 
D D 
 
So in anger, I challenged his right
Em Em 
 
For the love of this laden
A A 
 
Down with his hand for
D D 
 
the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered
Em Em 
 
in less than a heartbeat
A A 
 
The handsome young stranger
D D 
 
lay dead on the floor
A A 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Just for a moment I stood
there in silence
A A 
 
Shocked by the foul evil
D D 
 
deed I had done
Em Em 
 
Many thoughts raced through my mind
as I stood there
A A 
 
D D 
 
I  had but one chance and that was to run
G G 
 
Out through the back door of Roses I ran
D D 
 
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one,
it looked like it could run
G G 
 
Up on its back and away I did ride
A A 
 
Just as fast as I could
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
from the West Texas town of El Paso
A A 
 
Out to the badlands of New Mexico
D D 
 
Back at El Paso,
Em Em 
 
my life would be worthless
A A 
 
Everything good in life,
D D 
 
nothing is left
Asus4 Asus4 
 
D D 
 
It's     been so long since
Em Em 
 
I've seen the young baby
A A 
 
D D 
 
My love is stronger than my fear of death
G G 
 
I settled up and away I did go
D D 
 
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
Tonight nothing's worse
G G 
 
than this pain in my heart
A A 
 
D D 
 
And at last here I am
Em Em 
 
on the hill overlooking El Paso,
A A 
 
D D 
 
I  can see Rose's Cantina below.
My love is strong and it
Em Em 
 
pushes me onward,
A A 
 
D D 
 
down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right,
Em Em 
 
I see five mounted cowboys
A A 
 
Off to my left,
D D 
 
right a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting,
Em Em 
 
I can 't let them catch me
A A 
 
I  have to make it to Rose's
D D 
 
back door
G G 
 
Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel
D D 
 
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in this saddle
G G 
 
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
A A 
 
D D 
 
But my love for a fool is strong
Em Em 
 
And I rise where I've fallen
A A 
 
D D 
 
Though I am weary, I can't stop the rest
I see the white blip of smoke
Em Em 
 
from the rifle.
A A 
 
D D 
 
I  feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere
Em Em 
 
Felina has found me.
A A 
 
Kissing my cheek
D D 
 
as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arm
Em Em 
 
s that I'd die for,
A A 
 
One little kiss and Felina, goodbye.
D D
