Em A7 D Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina, Music would play and Felina would whirl. D Em A7 D Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. Em A7 D My love was strong for this Mexican maiden, I was in love, but in vain I could tell. [Chorus] G D G D D7 One night a wild young cowboy came in, Wild as the West Texas wind... D7 D7 G Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing, with wicked Felina, the girl that I love. A7 So in anger D Em A7 D I challenged his right for the love of this maiden; down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My Em A7 D Challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat the handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. [Chorus] G D G D D7 Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, out where the horses were tied... D7 D7 G I caught a good one; he looked like he could run, up on his back and away I did ride. A7 Just as fast as D Em A7 D I could from the West Texas town of El Paso, out thru the badlands of New Mexico. Em A7 D Back in El Paso my life would be worthless; everything's gone in life nothing is left. D Em A7 D But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden, my love is stronger that my fear of death. [Chorus] G D G D D7 I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark... D7 D7 Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me, Tonight nothing's worse than G A7 This pain in my heart. And as last here D Em A7 D I am on the hill overlooking El Paso; I can see Rose's Cantina below. Em A7 D My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to Felina I go. D Em A7 D Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, off to my left ride a dozen or more. Em A7 D Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me, I've got to make it to Rose's back door. [Chorus] G D G D D7 Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side... D7 D7 G It's getting harder to stay in the saddle. I'm getting weary, unable to ride. A7 But my love for D Em A7 D Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen; though I am weary, I can't stop to rest. Em A7 D I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle; I feel the bullet go deep in my chest. D Em A7 D From out of nowhere, Felina has found me, kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side. Em A7 D Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for, one little kiss and Felina goodbye.
