[Intro]
C F C F C
[Verse 1]
C F C
From thirty thousand feet above the desert floor, I see it there below
F C
A city with a legend - the west Texas city of El Paso
F C
Where long ago I heard a song about a Texas cowboy and a girl
G C
And a little place called Rosa's, where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl.
F C
I don't recall who sang the song, but I recall the story that I heard
F C
And as I look down on the city, I remember each and every word
F C
The singer sang about a jealous cowboy, and the way he used a gun
G C
To kill another cowboy then he had to leave El Paso on the run.
[Chorus]
F C
El Paso City, by the Rio Grande
G
The cowboy lived and rode away
But love was strong he couldn't stay
C
He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand
F C
El Paso City, by the Rio Grande
G
I try not to let you cross my mind
C
But still I find there's such a mystery in the song that I don't understand.
[Verse 2]
C F C
My mind is down there somewhere, as I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
F C
I can't explain why I should know, the very trail he rode back to El Paso
F C
Can it be that man can disappear from life and live another time
G C
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think that you yourself lived in that other time.
F C
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts, familIar scenes and memories unfold
F C
These wild and unexplained emotions that I've had so long but I have never told
F C
Like every time I fly up thru the heavens and I see you there below
G C
I get the feeling sometime in another world I lived in El Paso.
[Chorus]
F C
El Paso City, by the Rio Grande
G
Could it be that I could be the cowboy in this mystery
C
That died there in that desert sand so long ago
F C
El Paso City, by the Rio Grande
G
A voice tells me to go and see
Another voice keeps tellin' me
C
Maybe death awaits me in El Paso
F
El Paso City....
