[Verse]
C
I was told long ago that you learn more
Am
on a building site than you would in school.
F                                C
I don't know who's to know in El Paso.
C
Friday night still floodlights you hear us roar.
Am
Sing the town til we die then our throats went sore.
F                              C
We have grown on the road to El Paso.


[Bridge]
Am
Photographs on your mantlepiece they fade.
Em
Sitting at some busstop in the pouring rain.
F
In your mind things that you've seen, leather shoes on the other foot how does that feel.


[Chorus]
C
If you want to go I'll take you there,
Am
feel the rain on your face in the morning.
F                                      C
Ahh let's go back, take me back to El Paso.
C
Go around with your tie and your briefcase
Am
with a look on your face like I'm a waste of space.
F                               C
Take me back, take me back to El Paso.

[Verse]
C                   F
Ohhh take a walk, take a walk down the echo road,
F             G            C
I'll be waiting. Don't you know I'll be waiting.


[Chorus]
C
And if you want to go I'll take you there,
Am
feel the rain on your face in the morning.
F                                C
Ahh let's go back, take me back to El Paso.
C
Go around with your tie and your briefcase
Am
with a look on your face like I'm a waste of space.
F
Take me back, take me back.


[Outro]
F                               C
Take me back, let's go back to El Paso,
Am
to El Paso,
F
to El Paso,
C
to my El Pas-o-o-o-o-o.
