Running Gun

D                              
I rode out of Kansas City,going/ 
   G7
south to Mexico

       A                           
I was/ running dodging danger,left 
   G7                   D
the/ girl that I loved so

Far behind lay Kansas City and the/ 
G7
past that I had earned

         A                         
Twenty/ notches on my six gun 
         G7               D
marked the/ lessons I had learned



       G7                          
Many times I sold my fast gun for 
  D
a/ place to lay my head

          G7                       
Till the/ nights began to haunt me 
       D                  A
by the/ men that I lay dead

          D                        
Couldn't/ stand it any longer with 
    G7
the/ life that I'd begun

      A                            
So I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/
 G7               D
 became a running gun



                             G7
I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank
 in the west

    A                              
My thoughts in Kansas City and the 
 G7                   D
girl that I love best

As I smiled and kissed her gently 
          G7
and then turned around to go

          A                     
Said I'd send for her to meet me 
          G7              D
when I reached old Mexico



G7                                
I had barely left the saddle and 
   D
my foot just touched the ground

        G7                         
When a cold voice from the shadows 
         D                 A
told me not to turn around

         D                       
Said he new about my fast gun,new 
       G7
the price paid by the law

               A                   
Challenged by a bounty hunter,so I 
  G7                  D
turned around to draw



  D                                
I knew someday I'd meet him for his
  G7
 hand like lightning flashed

    A                              
My own gun stayed in leather as his
   G7                D
 bullet tore it's path

As my strength was slowly fading,I 
           G7
could see him walk away

       A                           
And I knew that where I lie 
    G7                 D
today,he to must lie some day




G7                                
Now my strength is slowly fading 
       D
and my eyes are growing dim

        G7
And my thoughts return to Jeannie

        D                       A
and the home that we had planned

          D
Oh please tell her won't you mister

            G7
that she's still the only one

       A                           
But a woman's love is waisted when 
    G7                 D
she loves a running gun
