[Verse 1]
D                     Em         
Out in the west Texas town of El 
     A
Paso I fell in love with a Mexican 
girl.
D                          Em
Nighttime would fine me in roses 
cantina,
A                                 
Music would play and Felina would 
D
whirl.
D                           Em
Black as the night were the eyes of 
Felina,
A                             
Wicked and evil while casting a 
  D
spell.
D                           Em
My love was strong for this Mexican 
maiden,
A                                  
I was in love, but in vain I could 
D
tell.

[Verse 2]
G                      D          
One night a wild young cowboy came
 G                          D
 in, wild as the west Texas wind...
D
Dashing and daring, a drink he was 
sharing,
With wicked Felina, the girl that I 
G
love.
      A       D                   
So in anger I challenged his right
         E
 for the love of this maiden;
A                                 
Down went his hand for the gun 
     D
that he wore.
D                             Em
My challenge was answered, in less 
than a heartbeat
    A                              
The handsome young stranger lay 
         D
dead on the floor.
D                   Em
Just for a moment I stood there in 
silence,
A                                 
Shocked by the foul evil deed I 
  D
had done.

D                            Em
Many thoughts ran through my mind as
 I stood there;
A                                 
I had but one chance and that was 
   D
to run.

[Verse 3]
G                            D   
Out through the back door of 
    G                            
roses I ran, out where the horses 
  D
were tied...
D
I picked a good one; he looked like 
he could run,
D                             G
Up on his back and away I did ride.
        A         D            
Just as fast as I could from the 
             Em
west Texas town of El Paso,
A                            D
Out thru the badlands of new Mexico.

D                  Em
Back in El Paso my life would be 
worthless;
A                                 
Everything's gone in life nothing 
   D
is left.
    D                          Em
But its been so long since Ive seen 
the young maiden,
A                                 
My love is stronger that my fear 
  D
of death.

[Verse 4]
G                D          G   
I saddled up and away I did go, 
                    D
riding alone in the dark...
D
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me,
D                              
Tonight nothings worse than this 
             G
pain in my heart.
       A           D              
And at last here I am on the hill 
    Em
overlooking El Paso,
A                          D
I can see roses cantina below.
D                        Em      
My love is strong and it pushes 
          A                    
me onward, down off the hill to 
         D
Felina I go.

[Verse 5]
G                                 
Something is dreadfully wrong for 
I feel a deep burning pain in my 
D
side
D
Its getting harder to stay in the 
saddle.
D                            G
I'm getting weary, unable to ride.
       A        D                 
But my love for Felina is strong 
     Em
and I rise where Ive fallen;
A                                 
Though I am weary, I cant stop to 
D
rest.
D                       Em
I see the white puff of smoke from 
the rifle,
A                             
I feel the bullet go deep in my 
  D
chest.
D                      Em
From out of nowhere, Felina has 
found me,
A                                 
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by 
   D
my side.
D                     Em
Cradled by two loving arms that Ill 
die for,
A                            
One little kiss.... and Felina 
       D    A  G
good-bye.
A           D    A  G
Felina good-bye.
A           D    A  G
Felina good-bye.
A           D    A  G
Felina good-bye.
A           D    A  G
Felina good-bye.
A           D    A  G
Felina good-bye.
