[Verse 1]
D G I rode out of Kansas City, going south to Mexico A G D I was running dodging danger, left the girl that I loved so G Far behind lay Kansas City and the past that I had earned A G D Twenty notches on my six gun marked the lessons I had learned
[Chorus]
G D Many times I sold my fast gun for a place to lay my head G D A Till the nights began to haunt me by the men that I left dead
[Verse 2]
D G Couldn't stand it any longer with the life that I'd begun A G D So I said good-bye to Jeannie and became a running gun G I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west A G D My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best G As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned away to go A G D Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
[Chorus]
G D I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground G D A When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
[Verse 3]
D G Said he knew about my fast gun, knew the price paid by the law A G D Challenged by a bounty hunter, so I turned around to draw G I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed A G D My own gun stood in leather as his bullet tore it's path G As my strength was slowly fading I could see him walk away A G D And I knew that where I lie tonight he too must lie some day
[Chorus]
G D Now the crowd is slowly gathering and my eyes are growing dim G And my thoughts return to Jeannie D A and the home that we had planned D Oh please tell her won't you mister G that she's still the only one A G D But a woman's love is wasted when she loves a running gun
