Verse 1
many long years ago
There in a shack on the desert,
B
one night in a storm
Amid streaks of lightnin'
and loud desert thunder
To a young Mexican couple,
Just as the baby cried,
thunder and lightnin' died
Moon gave it's light to the world
A
and the stars did the same
Mother and Father,
E
both proud of the daughter
That heaven had sent them,
B
E
Faleena was this baby's name
Verse 2
E
When she was seventeen,
bothered by crazy dreams
She ran away from the shack
B
and left them to roam
Father and Mother,
both asked one another
What made her run away,
E
what made Faleena leave home
Tired of the desert nights,
poverty, grief and strife
She ran away late one night in
A
the moon's golden gleam
She didn't know where she'd go,
And she would find happiness,
B
if she would follow her dream
E
Verse 3
After she ran away, she went to Sante Fe
And in the year that she stayed there,
B
she learned about life
In just a little while,
she learned that with a smile
She could have pretty clothes,
E
she could be any man's wife
Rich men romanced her,
they dined and they danced her
She understood men and she
A
treated them all just the same
A form that was fine and rare,
E
dark shining glossy hair
B
Lovely to look at Faleena was
Verse 4
E
Restless in Sante Fe, she had to get away
To any town where the lights
B
had a much brighter glow
One cowboy mentioned
the town of El Paso
They never stopped dancin'
E
and money like whiskey did flow
She bought a one-way,
a a ticket from Sante Fe
Three days and nights on a stage
A
with a rest now and then
She didn't mind that,
E
she knew she would find that
B
Her new life would be more exciting
E
than where she had been
Verse 5
E
The stage made it's last stop,
up there on the mountain top
To let her see all of the lights
B
at the foot of the hill
Her world was brighter and deep
down inside her
An uncontrolled beating,
E
her young heart just wouldn't be still
She got a hotel, a room at the Lily Belle
Quickly she changed to a form-fitting
A
black black satin dress
Ev'ry man stopped to stare,
E
at this form fine and rare
B
Even the women remarked of
E
the charm she possessed
Verse 6
E
Dancin' and laughter,
was what she was after
And Rosa's Cantina had lights,
B
with love in the gleam
That's what she hunted and
that's what she wanted
Rosa's was one place,
E
a nice girl would never be seen
It was the same way,
it was back in Sante Fe
Men would make fools of themselves
A
at the thought of romance
Rosa took heed of,
E
the place was in need of
This kind of excitement,
B
so she paid Faleena to dance
E
Verse 7
A year passed and maybe more and
then through the swingin' doors
Came a young cowboy so tall
B
and so handsomely dressed
This one was new in town,
hadn't been seen around
He was so different,
E
he wasn't like all of the rest
Faleena danced close to him,
then threw a rose to him
Quickly he walked to her table
A
and there he sat down
And in a day or so,
E
wherever folks would go
They'd see this young cowboy,
B
E
showin' Faleena the town
Verse 8
E
Six weeks he went with her,
each minute spent with her
But he was insanely jealous
B
of glances she'd give
Inside he was a-hurtin', from
from all of her flirtin'
That was her nature and that
E
was the way that she lived
She flirted one night, it started a gun-fight
And And after the smoke cleared away,
A
on the floor lay a man
Faleena's young lover,
E
had shot down another
And he had to leave there,
B
E
so out through the back door he ran
Verse 9
E
The next day at five o'clock,
she heard a rifle shot
Quickly she ran to the door,
B
that was facin' the pass
She saw her cowboy,
her wild-ridin' cowboy
cowboy
Low in the saddle,
E
her cowboy was ridin' in fast
She ran to meet him,
to kiss and to greet him
He saw her and motioned her back,
A
with a wave of his hand
E
Bullets were flyin', Faleena was cryin'
B
As she saw him fall from the saddle
and into the sand
E
Verse 10
Faleena knelt near him,
to hold and to hear him
When she felt the warm blood that
B
flowed from the wound in his side
He raised to kiss her and she
heard him whisper
"Never forget me, Faleena it's over,
E
goodbye."
Quickly she grabbed for,
the six-gun that that he wore
And screamin' in anger and placin'
A
the gun to her breast
E
Bury us both deep and maybe
we'll find peace
And pullin' the trigger,
B
E
she fell 'cross the dead cowboy's chest
Verse 11
E
Out in El Paso, whenever the wind blows
If you listen closely at night,
B
you'll hear in the wind
A woman is cryin',
it's not the wind sighin'
Old timer's tell you,
E
Faleena is callin' for him
You'll hear them talkin' and
you'll hear them walkin'
You'll hear them laugh and you'll look,
A
but there's no one around
Don't be alarmed,
E
there is really no harm there
It's only the young cowboy,
B
E
E
showin' Faleena the town
