Tekst piosenki i chwyty na gitarę
D
Out in New Mexico, many long years agoThere in a shack on the desert, one night in a
A7
stormA7
Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunderTo a young Mexican couple, a baby was
D
born;D
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' diedMoon gave it's light to the world and the
D7
stars did the G
sameMother and Father, both
D
proud of the daughterThat heaven had sent them, Felina was
A7
this baby's D
name.D
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreamsShe ran away from the shack and left them to
A7
roamA7
Father and Mother, both asked one anotherWhat made her run away, what made Felina leave
D
home;D
Tired of the desert nights, fartherly grieved to strifeShe ran away late one night in the
D7
moon's golden G
gleamShe didn't know where she'd
D
go, but that she'd get thereAnd she would find happiness, if she would
A7
follow her D
dream.D
After she ran away, she went to Sante FeAnd in the year that she stayed there, she learned about
A7
lifeA7
In just a little while, she learned that with a smileShe could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's
D
wife;D
Rich men romanced her, they dined and they danced herShe understood men and she treated them
D7
all just the G
sameA form that was fine and
D
rare, dark shining glossy hairLovely to look at Felina was
A7
this woman's D
name.D
Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get awayTo any town where the lights had a much brighter
A7
glowA7
One cowboy mentioned the town of El PasoThey never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey did
D
flow;D
She bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante FeThree days and nights on a stage with a
D7
rest now and G
thenShe didn't mind that, she
D
knew she would find thatHer new life would be more exciting than
A7
where she had D
been.D
The stage made it's last stop, up there on the mountain topTo let her see all of the lights at the foot of the
A7
hillA7
Her world was brighter and deep down inside herAn uncontrolled beating, her young heart just wouldn't be
D
still;D
She got a hotel, a room at the Lily BelleQuickly she changed to a
D7
form-fitting black satin G
dressEv'ry man stopped to
D
stare at this form fine and rareEven the women remarked of the
A7
charm she posD
sessed.D
Dancin' and laughter was what she was afterAnd Rosa's Cantina had lights, with a love in th
A7
e gleamA7
That's what she hunted and that's what she wantedRosa's was one place a nice girl would never be s
D
een;D
It was the same way it was back in Sante FeMen would make fools of them
D7
selves at the thought of G
romanceRosa took heed of the
D
place was in need ofThis kind of excitement, so she paid Fe
A7
lina to D
dance.D
A year passed and maybe more and then through the swingin' doorsCame a young cowboy so tall and so handsomely
A7
dressedA7
This one was new in town, hadn't been seen aroundHe was so different, he wasn't like all of the
D
rest;D
Felina danced close to him, then threw a rose to himQuickly he walked to her
D7
table and there he sat G
downAnd in a day or so,
D
wherever folks would goThey'd see this young cowboy, showin' Fel
A7
ina the D
town.D
Six weeks he went with her, each minute spent with herBut he was insanely jealous of glances she'd
A7
giveA7
Inside he was a-hurtin', from all of her flirtin'That was her nature and that was the way that she
D
lived;D
She flirted one night, it started a gun-fightAnd after the smoke cleared
D7
away, on the floor lay a G
manFelina's young lover, had
D
shot down anotherAnd he had to leave there, so out through the
A7
back door he D
ran.D
The next day at five o'clock, she heard a rifle shotQuickly she ran to the door, that was facin' the
A7
passA7
She saw her cowboy, her wild-ridin' cowboyLow in the saddle, her cowboy was ridin' in
D
fast;D
She ran to meet him, to kiss and to greet himHe saw her and motioned her
D7
back, with a wave of his G
handBullets were flyin',
D
Feleena was cryin'As she saw him fall from the saddle and
A7
into the D
sand.D
Feleena knelt near him, to hold and to hear himWhen she felt the warm blood that flowed from the wound in his
A7
sideA7
He raised to kiss her and she heard him whisper"Never forget me - Felina it's
D
over, goodbye."D
Quickly she grabbed for, the six-gun that he woreAnd screamin' in anger and placin' the
D7
gun to her G
breastBury us both deep and
D
maybe we'll find peaceAnd pullin' the trigger, she fell 'cross the
A7
dead cowboy's D
chest.D
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind blowsIf you listen closely at night, you'll hear in the
A7
windA woman is cryin', it's not the wind sighin'
Old timer's tell you, Felina is callin' for
D
him;You'll hear them talkin' and you'll hear them walkin'
You'll hear them laugh and you'll look, but there's
D7
no one aG
roundDon't be alarmed - there is
D
really no harm thereIt's only the young cowboy, showin' Fel
A7
ina the D
town.Najpopularniejsze piosenki Marty Robbins
