El Paso City chords

[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C]

[VERSE 1]
From [C]thirty thousand feet above the [F]desert floor, I see it there [C]below
A city with a legend -[F] the west Texas city of El [C]Paso
Where long ago I heard a song [F]about a Texas cowboy and a [C]girl
And a little place called Rosa's, where he [G]used to go and watch this beauty [C]whirl.
I don't recall who sang the song, but [F]I recall the story that I [C]heard
And as I look down on the city, [F]I remember each and every [C]word
The singer sang about a jealous [F]cowboy, and the way he used a [C]gun
To kill another cowboy then he [G]had to leave El Paso on the [C]run.

[CHORUS]
El Paso [F]City, by the Rio [C]Grande
The [G]cowboy lived and rode away

But love was strong he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El [C]Paso sand
El Paso [F]City, by the Rio [C]Grande
I [G]try not to let you cross my mind
But still I find there's such a mystery in the song that I don't [C]understand.

[VERSE 2]
My [C]mind is down there somewhere, as I [F]fly above the badlands of New [C]Mexico
I can't explain why I should know, the [F]very trail he rode back to El [C]Paso
Can it be that man can disa[F]ppear from life and live another [C]time
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you [G]think that you yourself lived in that other [C]time.
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts, [F]familIar scenes and memories u[C]nfold
These wild and unexplained emotions [F]that I've had so long but I have [C]never told
Like every time I fly up thru the [F]heavens and I see you there [C]below
I get the feeling sometime in [G]another world I lived in El [C]Paso.

[CHORUS]
El Pas[F]o City, by the Ri[C]o Grande
[G]Could it be that I could be the cowboy in this mystery
That died there in that desert sand so [C]long ago
El Paso [F]City, by the Rio [C]Grande
A [G]voice tells me to go and see

Another voice keeps tellin' me
Maybe death awaits me in El [C]Paso
El Paso [F]City....
