RUNNING GUN by Marty Robins
D G7
I rode out of Kansas City,going/ south to Mexico
A G7 D
I was/ running dodging danger,left the/ girl that I loved so
G7
Far behind lay Kansas City and the/ past that I had earned
A G7 D
Twenty/ notches on my six gun marked the/ lessons I had learned
G7 D
Many times I sold my fast gun for a/ place to lay my head
G7 D A
Till the/ nights began to haunt me by the/ men that I lay dead
D G7
Couldn't/ stand it any longer with the/ life that I'd begun
A G7 D
So I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/ became a running gun
G7
I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west
A G7 D
My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best
G7
As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go
A G7 D
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
G7 D
I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground
G7 D A
When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
D G7
Said he new about my fast gun,new the price paid by the law
A G7 D
Challenged by a bounty hunter,so I turned around to draw
D G7
I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed
A G7 D
My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
G7
As my strength was slowly fading,I could see him walk away
A G7 D
And I knew that where I lie today,he to must lie some day
G7 D
Now my strength is slowly fading 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 G7 D
But a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun
Cheers!!!
Charlie
