Verse 1
Speak (C major) up (F major) (C major) , (B flat major) you rusty .45. (C major)
How many can you name
that (B flat major) you faced and left alive?
(C major) How many hit the dust,
(A minor) left their line in the street?
Did (F major) you get them in the back,
or did you (C major) face them on their feet?
Oh (B flat major) yes, you had your day,
you were known (C major) for slinging lead
Those behind (B flat major) you laughed
and shouted
Those (C major) (A minor) in (C major) front (A minor) of (C major) you fell dead
Though they fought you
(B flat major) and they cursed you
You got them one by one
For (C major) they kept your barrels smoking
There (B flat major) was no stopping you,
(C major) the gun
There was (A minor) Lightnin' Dan and Killer Sam,
and (F major) a rustler known as Lou
There was Utah Pete (C major) and One -Eyed Jack,
and (B flat major) Mr. Mitch and just a few
So (C major) won't you tell me how you feel
now that (B flat major) your battles have been won?
(C major) Speak up, we've no secrets, (A flat major)
for I'm the man and you're the gun
(C major) Yes, you're the gun
that tamed the West
And I'm the last one that you faced
(A flat major) The one who owned you then
He was beaten and (E flat major) disgraced
Yeah, they cheered (G major) me
and they whined me
The day I shot him down
I (C major) was their hero
Heard my praises (B flat major) echoed
through that western town. (C major)
But then although I beat (B flat major) you,
you became my own (C major) downfall.
For I placed you (A minor) in my holster
to see how many I (F major) could stall.
The very (C major) next fight he got me, (B flat major)
left me wounded and outdone.
(C major) But it wasn't him that beat (B flat major) me,
it was you, yes, (C major) you, the gun.
So go on, (B flat major) hang there on the wall
and ignore me, (C major) see if I care.
I'll just wheel my (B flat major) self over
to the window here, (C major)
get me a (A minor) breath of fresh air.
So when (F major) some friend comes calling,
I (C major) will this story shun,
For (B flat major) I know he'll seek the victor. (C major)
Was it me, (B flat major) or was it you,
(C major) the gun? (B flat major) (C major) (B flat major)
(C major)
Thank you.
