Em
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
A A7 D
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
Em
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
A A7 A D D7
I was in love but in vain I could tell
G
One night a wild young cowboy came in
D D7
Wild as the West Texas wind.....
D
Dashing and daring
D7
A drink he was sharing
D
With wicked Felina
D7 G
The girl that I loved
A A7
So in anger..... I
D Em
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden
A A7 D
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
Em
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat
A D
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Em
Just for a moment I stood there in silence
A A7 D
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Em
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
A A7 D D7
I had but one chance and that was to run
G
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
D D7
Out where the horses were tied.........
D
I caught a good one
D7
It looked like it could run
D
Up on its back
D7 G
And away I did ride
A A7
Just as fast as I
D Em
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
A A7 D
Out to the bad-lands of Old Mexico
Em
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
A A7 D
Everything's gone in life nothing is left
Em
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
A D D7
My love is stronger than my fear of death
G
I saddled up and away I did go
D D7
Riding alone in the dark.......
D
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me
D7
Tonight nothing's worse than this
G
Pain in my heart
A A7
And at last here I
D Em
Am on the hill over-looking El Paso
A A7 D
I can see Rosa's cantina below
Em
My love is strong as it pushes me onward
A A7 D
Down off the hill to Felina I go
Em
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
A A7 D
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Em
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
A D D7
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
G
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
D D7
A deep burning pain in my side......
D D7
Though I am trying
D D7
To stay in the saddle
D D7
I'm getting weary
D G
Unable to ride
A A7
But my love for
D Em
Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
A A7 D
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
Em
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
A A7 D
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
Em
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
A A7 D
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Em
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
A A7 D
One little kiss and Felina... good-bye......
