Verse 2
(D major) Blacker than night were the eyes (E minor) of Feleena
(A7) Wicked and evil while casting a (D major) spell
(D major) My love was deep for this (E minor) Mexican maiden
(A7) I was in love, but in vain, I could (D major) tell (D7)
Bridge 1
(G major) One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas (D7) wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With (D7) wicked Feleena, the girl that I (G major) loved
So in (A7) anger
Verse 3
I (D major) challenged challenged his right
for the (E minor) love of this maiden
(A7) Down went his hand for the gun that he (D major) wore
My (D major) challenge was answered
in (E minor) less than a heartbeat
The (A7) handsome young stranger lay dead
on the (D major) floor (D7)
Bridge 2
(G major) Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were (D7) tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
(D7) Up on its back, and away I did (G major) ride
Just as (A7) fast
Verse 4
as I (D major) could from the West Texas
(E minor) town of El Paso
(A7) Out to the badlands of New Mexi (D major) co
(D major) Back in El Paso my (E minor) life would be worthless
(A7) Everything's gone in life, nothing is (D major) left
Verse 5
(D major) It's been so long
since I've (E minor) seen the young maiden
(A7) My love is stronger than my fear of (D major) death (D7)
Bridge 3
(G major) I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the (D7) dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
To (D7) night nothing's worse
than this pain in my (G major) heart
And at (A7) last
Verse 6
here I (D major) am on the hill over (E minor) looking El Paso
(A7) I can see Rosa's Cantina be (D major) low
(D major) My love is strong and it (E minor) pushes me onward
(A7) Down off the hill to Feleena I (D major) go
Verse 7
(D major) Off to my right I see (E minor) five mounted cowboys
(A7) Off to my left ride a dozen or (D major) more
(D major) Shouting and shooting,
I (E minor) can't let them catch me
(A7) I have to make it to Rosa's back I (D major) door (D7)
Bridge 4
(G major) Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my (D7) side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
(D7) I'm getting weary, unable to (G major) ride
But my (A7) love
Verse 8
for Fe (D major) leena is strong and I (E minor) rise where I've fallen
(A7) Though I am weary, I can't stop to (D major) rest
(D major) I see the white puff of (E minor) smoke from the rifle
(A7) I feel the bullet go deep in my (D major) chest
Verse 9
(D major) From out of nowhere Fe (E minor) leena has found me
(A7) Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my (D major) side
(D major) Cradled by two loving arms (E minor) that I'll die for
(A7) One little kiss, and Feleena, good (D major) bye
