El Paso City Marty Robbins
{t:El Paso City} {st:Marty Robbins} (Words and music by Marty Robbins) (G) From thirty thousand feet above The (C) desert floor, I see you there be-(G) low A city with a legend - The (C) west Texas city of El (G) Paso Where long ago I heard a song A-(C) bout a Texas cowboy and a (G) girl And a little place called Rosa's Where he (D) used to go and watch his beauty (G) whirl I don't recall who sang the song But I recall the story that I heard And as I look down on this city, I remember each and ev'ry word The singer sang about a jealous cowboy And the way he used a gun To kill another cowboy Then he had to leave El Paso on the run (G7) El Paso (C) Cit-y, by the Rio (G) Grand-ee (D) The cowboy lived and rode away But love was strong he couldn't stay He rode back just to (D7)die in that (G) El Paso sun (G7) El Paso (C) Cit-y, by the Rio (G) Grand-ee (D) I try not to let you cross my mind But still I find there's such a mystery In this (D7)song that I don't (G) understand My mind is down there somewhere As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico I can't explain why I should know The very trail he rode back to El Paso Can it be that man can disappear From life and live another time And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think That you yourself lived in that other time Somewhere in my deepest thoughts Familar scenes and memories unfold These wild and unexplained emotions That I've had so long but I have never told Like every time I fly up thru the heavens And I see you there below I get the feeling sometime In another world I lived in El Paso El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-ee Could it be that I could be The cowboy in this mystery That died there in that desert sand so long ago El Paso Cit-y, by the Rio Grand-ee A voice tells me to go and seek Another voice keeps tellin' me Maybe death awaits me in El Paso
