D Out in New Mexico, many long years ago There in a shack on the desert, oneA7 night in a stormA7 Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder To a young Mexican couple, a babyD was born;D Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died Moon gave it's light to the worldD7 G and the stars did the sameD Mother and Father, both proud of the daughter That heaven had sent them, FelinaA7 D was this baby's name. [Verse 2]D When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams She ran away from the shack and leftA7 them to roamA7 Father and Mother, both asked one another What made her run away, what madeD Felina leave home;D Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strife She ran away late one night in theD7 G moon's golden gleamD She didn't know where she'd go, but that she'd get there And she would find happiness, if sheA7 D would follow her dream. [Verse 3]D After she ran away, she went to Sante Fe And in the year that she stayedA7 there, she learned about lifeA7 In just a little while, she learned that with a smile She could have pretty clothes, sheD could be any man's wife;D Rich men romanced her, they dined and they danced her She understood men and she treatedD7 G them all just the sameD A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hairA7 Lovely to look at Felina was thisD woman's name. [Verse 4]D Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get away To any town where the lights had aA7 much brighter glowA7 One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso They never stopped dancin' and moneyD like whiskey did flow;D She bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante Fe Three days and nights on a stageD7 G with a rest now and thenContinúa después del anuncioD She didn't mind that, she knew she would find that Her new life would be more excitingA7 D than where she had been. [Verse 5]D The stage made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top To let her see all of the lights atA7 the foot of the hillA7 Her world was brighter and deep down inside her An uncontrolled beating, her youngD heart just wouldn't be still;D She got a hotel, a room at the Lily Belle Quickly she changed to aD7 G form-fitting black satin dressD Ev'ry man stopped to stare at this form fine and rareA7 Even the women remarked of theD charm she possessed. [Verse 6]D Dancin' and laughter was what she was after And Rosa's Cantina had lights, withA7 a love in the gleamA7 That's what she hunted and that's what she wanted Rosa's was one place a nice girlD would never be seen;D It was the same way it was back in Sante FeD7 Men would make fools of themselvesG at the thought of romanceD Rosa took heed of the place was in need of This kind of excitement, so she paidA7 D Felina to dance. [Verse 7]D A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors Came a young cowboy so tall and soA7 handsomely dressedA7 This one was new in town, hadn't been seen around He was so different, he wasn't likeD all of the rest;D Felina danced close to him, then threw a rose to himD7 Quickly he walked to her table andG there he sat downD And in a day or so, wherever folks would go They'd see this young cowboy,A7 D showin' Felina the town. [Verse 8]D Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent with her But he was insanely jealous ofA7 glances she'd giveA7 Inside he was a-hurtin', from all of her flirtin' That was her nature and that was theD way that she lived;D She flirted one night, it started a gun-fightD7 And after the smoke cleared away,G on the floor lay a manD Felina's young lover, had shot down another And he had to leave there, so outA7 D through the back door he ran. [Verse 9]D The next day at five o'clock, she heard a rifle shot Quickly she ran to the door, thatA7 was facin' the passA7 She saw her cowboy, her wild-ridin' cowboy Low in the saddle, her cowboy wasD ridin' in fast;D She ran to meet him, to kiss and to greet himD7 He saw her and motioned her back,G with a wave of his handD Bullets were flyin', Feleena was cryin' As she saw him fall from the saddleA7 D and into the sand. [Verse 10]D Feleena knelt near him, to hold and to hear him When she felt the warm blood thatA7 flowed from the wound in his sideA7 He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisperD "Never forget me - Felina it's over, goodbye."D Quickly she grabbed for, the six-gun that he wore And screamin' in anger and placin'D7 G the gun to her breastD Bury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace And pullin' the trigger, she fellA7 D 'cross the dead cowboy's chest. [Verse 11]D Out in El Paso, whenever the wind blows If you listen closely at night,A7 you'll hear in the wind A woman is cryin', it's not the wind sighin' Old timer's tell you, Felina isD callin' for him; You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin' You'll hear them laugh and you'llD7 G look, but there's no one aroundD Don't be alarmed - there is really no harm there It's only the young cowboy, showin'A7 D Felina the town.
