Intro 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
Verse 1
From (C major) thirty thousand feet above
the deser (F major) t floor I see it there (C major) below
A city with a legend,
(F major) the West Texas city of El (C major) Paso
Where long ago I heard a song about (F major)
a Texas cowboy and a (C major) girl
And a little place called Rosa's where he
(G major) used to go and watch this beauty (C major) whirl

Verse 2
I (C major) don't recall who sang the song but
(F major) I recall a story that (C major) I heard
And as I look down on this city (F major) I remember
each and every (C major) word
The singer sang about a jealous
(F major) cowboy and the way he used a (C major) gun
To kill another cowboy,
then he (G major) had to leave El Paso on the (C major) run
Verse 3
El Paso (F major) City
By the Rio (C major) Grande
The cowboy (G major) lived and rode away but
love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El (C major) Paso sand
El Paso (F major) City
By the Rio (C major) Grande
(G major) 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 major) understand
Verse 4
My mind (C major) is down there somewhere as
I fly (F major) above the badlands of New (C major) Mexico
I can't explain why I should know the very (F major)
trail he rode back to El (C major) Paso
Can it be that man can disappear (F major)
from life and live another (C major) time
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you (G major) think that
you yourself lived in that other (C major) time
Verse 5
Somewhere (C major) in my deepest thoughts famil
(F major) iar scenes and memories unfold (C major)
These wild and unexplained emotions (F major) that I've had so long,
but I (C major) have never told
Like everytime I fly up through the
(F major) heavens and I see you there (C major) below
I get the feeling sometime in an
(G major) other world I lived in El Paso
(C major)
Verse 6
El Paso (F major) City
By the Rio (C major) Grande
(G major) Could it be that I could be
the cowboy in the mystery
That died there in that
desert sand so (C major) long ago
El Paso (F major) City
By the Rio (C major) Grande
A voice (G major) tells me to go and seek,
another voice keeps telling me
Maybe death awaits me in El (C major) Paso
Verse 7
El Paso (F major) City
Outro 1
