[ Предположительная тональность: C ] [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....
