Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
From 30 ,000
F 
feet above the desert floor
C 
I see it below
A city with a legend,
F 
C 
West Texas City of El Paso
Well, long ago I heard a song
F 
C 
about a Texas cowboy and  a girl
At a little place called Roses
G 
where he used to go
C 
and watch his beauty work
I don't recall who sang the song
F 
C 
G 
C 
but I  recall the story that I  heard
And as I look down on the city,
F 
C 
I  remember each and every word
F 
The singer sang about a jealous cowboy
C 
and the way he used a gun
G 
C 
To kill another cowboy,
G 
C 
then he had to leave El Paso on the run
F 
C 
El Paso City, part of the old land
G 
The cowboy left and rode away
But love was strong, he couldn't stay
C 
He rode back just to die in El Paso State
F 
C 
El Paso City, by the Rio Grande
G 
I try not to let you cross my mind
But still I find there's such
a mystery in this song
C 
That I don't understand
My mind is down there somewhere
F 
C 
As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
I can't explain why I should know the
F 
C 
very trail he rode back to El Paso
F 
Can it be that man can disappear from life
C 
and live another time?
And does the mystery even go to think
G 
did you yourself live in that
C 
other time?
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts
F 
C 
Familiar scenes and memories unfold
G 
C 
These wild and
unexplained emotions
F 
C 
That I've had so long, I have never told
Like every time I fly
F 
up through the heavens
C 
And I see you there below
G 
C 
I get the feeling
G 
sometimes in another world
C 
I lived in El Paso
F 
El Paso City,
C 
I lived the old brand new
G 
Could it be that I could be the cowboy
in this mystery
That dive there in that desert sand
C 
so long ago
F 
El Paso City
C 
Friday to your old friend Dave
G 
A voice tells me to go and seek
Another voice keeps telling me
C 
Maybe Dave can wait for me in El Paso
F 
El Paso City
