Out in

A
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Nighttime would find me
Blacker than night were the
E
A
Wicked and evil while casting her spell.
D
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden,
E
A
I was in love but in vain I could tell.
D
One night a wild young cowboy came in,
A
Wild as the west Texas wind,
Wild as the wind, dashing and daring,
A drink he was sharing with wicked Felina,
A
So in anger I challenged his right
D
For the love of this maiden,
A
for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered
D
in less than a heartbeat,
A
E
The handsome young stranger
D
Just for a moment I stood
there in silence,
E
Stunned by the foul evil deed
D
Many thoughts raced through my mind
as I stood there,
E
A
I had but one chance and that was to run.
D
Out through the back door
of Rose's I ran,
A
Out where the horses were tied,
Where are they tied?
I caught a good one,
it looked like it could run,
D
Up on its back and away I did ride,
E
A
Just as fast as I could.
D
From the west Texas town of El Paso
A
New Mexico

A
Riding alone in the dark,
alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me,
Tonight nothing's worse
D
than this pain in my heart.
E
A
And at last here I am
D
on the hill overlooking El Paso,
E
I can see Rosa's Cantina below.

E
A
Down off the hill to Folina I go.
Off to my right I see
E
A
Off to my left, right a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting,
D
A
I can't let them catch me,
E
I have to make it to Rose's
D
Something is dreadfully wrong
D
A
A deep burning pain in my side,
pain in my side.
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle,
D
I'm getting weary, unable to ride.
E
A
But my love for Fe lina is strong,
D
And I rise where I'd fallen,
I see the white puff of
E
A
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere,
A
as she kneels by my side.
D
I'm cradled by two loving arms
that I'll die for,
E
D
A
One little kiss, and Felina, goodbye.
