[Verse 1]
D
Out in New Mexico, many long years ago
A7
There in a shack on the desert, one night in a storm
A7
Amid streaks of lightnin' and loud desert thunder
D
To a young Mexican couple, a baby was born;
D
Just as the baby cried, thunder and lightnin' died
D7 G
Moon gave it's light to the world and the stars did the same
D
Mother and Father, both proud of the daughter
A7 D
That heaven had sent them, Felina was this baby's name.
[Verse 2]
D
When she was seventeen, bothered by crazy dreams
A7
She ran away from the shack and left them to roam
A7
Father and Mother, both asked one another
D
What made her run away, what made Felina leave home;
D
Tired of the desert nights, poverty, grief and strife
D7 G
She went her way late one night in the moon's golden gleam
D
She didn't know where she'd go, but that she'd get there
A7 D
And she would find happiness, if she would follow her dream.
[Verse 3]
D
After she ran away, she went to Sante Fe
A7
And in the year that she stayed there, she learned about life
A7
In just a little while, she learned that with a smile
D
She could have pretty clothes, she could be any man's wife;
D
Rich men romanced her, they dined and they danced her
D7 G
She understood men and she treated them all just the same
D
A form that was fine and rare, dark shining glossy hair
A7 D
Lovely to look at Felina was this woman's name.
[Verse 4]
D
Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get away
A7
To any town where the lights had a much brighter glow
A7
One cowboy mentioned the town of El Paso
D
They never stopped dancin' and money like whiskey did flow;
D
She bought a one-way, a ticket from Sante Fe
D7 G
Three days and nights on a stage with a rest now and then
D
She didn't mind that, she knew she would find that
A7 D
Her new life would be more exciting than where she had been.
