1.__Out_in_the_West_Texas_town_of_El_Paso 

____A7____________________________D 

____I_fell_in_love_with_a_Mexican_girl. 

_______________________________Em 

____Nighttime_would_find_me_in_Roses_Cantina, 

____A7________________________________D 

____Music_would_play_and_Felina_would_whirl. 

 
 

 
 

2.__Blacker_than_night_were_the_eyes_of_Felina, 

____Wicked_and_evil_while_casting_a_spell. 

____My_love_was_strong_for_this_Mexican_maiden, 

____I_was_in_love,_but_in_vain_I_could_tell. 

 
 

 
 

[Chorus_1] 

 
 

G______________________D___________G 

One_night_a_wild_young_cowboy_came_in, 

____________D__________D7 

Wild_as_the_West_Texas_wind... 

D7 

Dashing_and_daring,_a_drink_he_was_sharing, 

D7__________________________________G 

With_wicked_Felina,_the_girl_that_I_love. 

______A7 

So_in_an_-_ger 

 
 

3._I_challenged_his_right_for_the_love_of_this_maiden; 

___Down_went_his_hand_for_the_gun_that_he_wore. 

___My_challenge_was_answered,_in_less_than_a_heartbeat 

___The_handsome_young_stranger_lay_dead_on_the_floor. 

 
 

4._Just_for_a_moment_I_stood_there_in_silence, 

___Shocked_by_the_foul_evil_deed_I_had_done. 

___Many_thoughts_ran_through_my_mind_as_I_stood_there; 

___I_had_but_one_chance_and_that_was_to_run. 

 
 

 
 

[Chorus_2] 

 
 

Out_through_the_back_door_of_Roses_I_ran, 

Out_where_the_horses_were_tied... 

I_caught_a_good_one;_he_looked_like_he_could_run, 

Up_on_his_back_and_away_I_did_ride. 

Just_as_fast_as 

 
 

5._I_could_from_the_West_Texas_town_of_El_Paso, 

___Out_thru_the_badlands_of_New_Mexico. 

___Back_in_El_Paso_my_life_would_be_worthless; 

___Everythings_gone_in_life_nothing_is_left. 

 
 

6._But_its_been_so_long_since_Ive_seen_the_young_maiden, 

___My_love_is_stronger_that_my_fear_of_death. 

__(Nothings_missing._It_really_is_only_half_a_verse.) 

 
 

 
 

[Chorus_3] 

 
 

I_saddled_up_and_away_I_did_go, 

Riding_alone_in_the_dark... 

Maybe_tomorrow_a_bullet_may_find_me, 

Tonight_nothings_worse_than_this_pain_in_my_heart. 

And_as_last_here 

 
 

7._I_am_on_the_hill_overlooking_El_Paso, 

___I_can_see_Roses_Cantina_below. 

___My_love_is_strong_and_it_pushes_me_onward, 

___Down_off_the_hill_to_Felina_I_go. 

 
 

8._Off_to_my_right_I_see_five_mounted_cowboys, 

___Off_to_my_left_ride_a_dozen_or_more. 

___Shouting_and_shooting;_I_cant_let_them_catch_me, 

___Ive_got_to_make_it_to_Roses_back_door. 

 
 

 
 

[Chorus_4] 

 
 

Something_is_dreadfully_wrong_for_I_feel 

A_deep_burning_pain_in_my_side... 

Its_getting_harder_to_stay_in_the_saddle. 

Im_getting_weary,_unable_to_ride. 

But_my_love_for 

 
 

9._Felina_is_strong_and_I_rise_where_Ive_fallen; 

___Though_I_am_weary,_I_cant_stop_to_rest. 

___I_see_the_white_puff_of_smoke_from_the_rifle, 

___I_feel_the_bullet_go_deep_in_my_chest. 

 
 

10.From_out_of_nowhere,_Felina_has_found_me, 

___Kissing_my_cheek_as_she_kneels_by_my_side. 

___Cradled_by_two_loving_arms_that_Ill_die_for, 

___One_little_kiss_and_Felina_goodbye. 

 
 

 
 

Id_suggest_playing_A7_as_(x02223)._Alternate_bass_notes_on_beats_one 

and_four_throughout_the_verses._You_might_want_to_try_Dadd9_(xx0230) 

in_place_of_the_D_in_the_first_line_of_the_chorus.
