[ch]A7[/ch]\r\nThere in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nAmid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nTo a young Mexican couple, a baby was born;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nJust as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                          [ch]D7[/ch]            [ch]G[/ch]\r\nMoon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same[/tab]\r\n[tab]                        [ch]D[/ch]\r\nMother and Father, both proud of the daughter[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]A7[/ch]                     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThat heaven had sent them, Felina was this baby's name.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhen she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                             [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nShe ran away from the shack and left them to roam[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nFather and Mother, both asked one another[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                               [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhat made her run away, what made Felina leave home;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nTired of the desert nights, poverty, grief and strife[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]D7[/ch]                         [ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe went her way late one night in the moon's golden gleam[/tab]\r\n[tab]                            [ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe didn't know where she'd go, but that she'd get there[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]A7[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAfter she ran away, she went to Sante Fe[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                         [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nAnd in the year that she stayed there, she learned about life[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nIn just a little while, she learned that with a smile[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nRich men romanced her, they dined and they danced her[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D7[/ch]                        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe understood men and she treated them all just the same[/tab]\r\n[tab]                               [ch]D[/ch]\r\nA form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair[/tab]\r\n[tab]                  [ch]A7[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nLovely to look at Felina was this woman's name.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nRestless in Sante Fe, she had to get away[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                 [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nTo any town where the lights had a much brighter glow[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nOne cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThey never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey did flow;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante Fe[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D7[/ch]                        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThree days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe didn't mind that, she knew she would find that[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]A7[/ch]                          [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHer new life would be more exciting than where she had been.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 5]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe stage made it's last stop, up there on the mountain top[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                    [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nTo let her see all of the lights at the foot of the hill[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nHer world was brighter and deep down inside her[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                          [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAn uncontrolled beating, her young heart just wouldn't be still;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe got a hotel, a room at the Lily Belle[/tab]\r\n[tab]                         [ch]D7[/ch]                       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nQuickly she changed to a form-fitting black satin dress[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nEv'ry man stopped to stare at this form fine and rare[/tab]\r\n[tab]                 [ch]A7[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nEven the women remarked of the charm she possessed.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 6]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nDancin' and laughter was what she was after[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                  [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nAnd Rosa's Cantina had lights, with a love in the gleam[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nThat's what she hunted and that's what she wanted[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nRosa's was one place a nice girl would never be seen;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nIt was the same way it was back in Sante Fe[/tab]\r\n[tab]                            [ch]D7[/ch]                       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nMen would make fools of themselves at the thought of romance[/tab]\r\n[tab]                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nRosa took heed of the place was in need of[/tab]\r\n[tab]                            [ch]A7[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThis kind of excitement, so she paid Felina to dance.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 7]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nA year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doors[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                              [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nCame a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely dressed[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nThis one was new in town, hadn't been seen around[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                               [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe was so different, he wasn't like all of the rest;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nFelina danced close to him, then threw a rose to him[/tab]\r\n[tab]                         [ch]D7[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nQuickly he walked to her table and there he sat down[/tab]\r\n[tab]                    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd in a day or so, wherever folks would go[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]A7[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThey'd see this young cowboy, showin' Felina the town.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 8]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nSix weeks he went with her, each minute spent with her[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                             [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nBut he was insanely jealous of glances she'd give[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nInside he was a-hurtin', from all of her flirtin'[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThat was her nature and that was the way that she lived;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe flirted one night, it started a gun-fight[/tab]\r\n[tab]                            [ch]D7[/ch]                       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd after the smoke cleared away, on the floor lay a man[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]D[/ch]\r\nFelina's young lover, had shot down another[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]A7[/ch]                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd he had to leave there, so out through the back door he ran.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 9]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe next day at five o'clock, she heard a rifle shot[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                 [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nQuickly she ran to the door, that was facin' the pass[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nShe saw her cowboy, her wild-ridin' cowboy[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                            [ch]D[/ch]\r\nLow in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in fast;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe ran to meet him, to kiss and to greet him[/tab]\r\n[tab]                            [ch]D7[/ch]                       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe saw her and motioned her back, with a wave of his hand[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBullets were flyin', Feleena was cryin'[/tab]\r\n[tab]                             [ch]A7[/ch]                  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAs she saw him fall from the saddle and into the sand.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 10]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nFeleena knelt near him, to hold and to hear him[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                               [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nWhen she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his side[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A7[/ch]\r\nHe raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                     [ch]D[/ch]\r\n\"Never forget me - Felina it's over, goodbye.\"[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nQuickly she grabbed for, the six-gun that he wore[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D7[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd screamin' in anger and placin' the gun to her breast[/tab]\r\n[tab]                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBury us both deep and maybe we'll find peace[/tab]\r\n[tab]
