C F C F CFrom
Cthirty thousand feet above the Fdesert floor, I see it there CbelowA city with a legend -
F the west Texas city of El CPasoWhere long ago I heard a song
Fabout a Texas cowboy and a CgirlAnd a little place called Rosa's, where he
Gused to go and watch this beauty Cwhirl.I don't recall who sang the song, but
FI recall the story that I CheardAnd as I look down on the city,
FI remember each and every CwordThe singer sang about a jealous
Fcowboy, and the way he used a CgunTo kill another cowboy then he
Ghad to leave El Paso on the Crun.El Paso
FCity, by the Rio CGrandeThe
Gcowboy lived and rode awayBut love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El
CPaso sandEl Paso
FCity, by the Rio CGrandeI
Gtry not to let you cross my mindBut still I find there's such a mystery in the song that I don't
Cunderstand.My
Cmind is down there somewhere, as I Ffly above the badlands of New CMexicoI can't explain why I should know, the
Fvery trail he rode back to El CPasoCan it be that man can disa
Fppear from life and live another CtimeAnd does the mystery deepen 'cause you
Gthink that you yourself lived in that other Ctime.Somewhere in my deepest thoughts,
Ffamiliar scenes and memories uCnfoldThese wild and unexplained emotions
Fthat I've had so long but I have Cnever toldLike every time I fly up thru the
Fheavens and I see you there CbelowI get the feeling sometime in
Ganother world I lived in El CPaso.El Pas
Fo City, by the RiCo GrandeGCould it be that I could be the cowboy in this mysteryThat died there in that desert sand so
Clong agoEl Paso
FCity, by the Rio CGrandeA
Gvoice tells me to go and seeAnother voice keeps tellin' me
Maybe death awaits me in El
CPasoEl Paso
