Intro 1
(E major) (E major)
Verse 1
I rode out (E major) of Kansas City,
going (A major) south to Mexico
I was (B major) running dodging danger,
left the (A major) girl that I loved so (E major)
Far behind lay Kansas City
and the (A major) past that I had earned
Twenty (B major) notches on my six gun
marked the (A major) lessons I had (E major) learned

Chorus 1
Many times (A major) I sold my fast gun
for a (E major) place to lay my head
Till the nights (A major) began to haunt me
by the (E major) men that I lay (B major) dead
Couldn't stand (E major) it any longer
with this (A major) life that I'd begun
So I (B major) said good-bye to Jeannie
and be (A major) come a running (E major) gun
Verse 2
I rode in (E major) to Amarillo
as the sun (A major) sank in the west
My (B major) thoughts in Kansas City
and the (A major) girl that I love best (E major)
As I smiled and kissed her gently
and then (A major) turned away to go
Said I'd (B major) send for her to meet me
when I reached (A major) old Mexi (E major) co
Chorus 2
I had (A major) barely left the saddle
and my (E major) foot just touched the ground
When a cold (A major) voice from the shadows
told me (E major) not to turn a (B major) round
Said he (E major) knew about my fast gun,
knew the price (A major) paid by the law
Challenged (B major) by a bounty hunter,
so I (A major) turned around to (E major) draw
Verse 3
I (E major) knew someday I'd meet him
for his hand (A major) like lightning flashed
My (B major) own gun stayed in leather
as his (A major) bullet tore its path (E major)
As my strength was slowly fading,
I could (A major) see him walk away
And I (B major) knew that where I lie tonight,
he (A major) too must lie some (E major) day
Chorus 3
Now a (A major) crowd is slowly gathering
but my (E major) eyes are growing dim
And my (A major) thoughts return to Jeannie
and the (E major) home that we had (B major) planned
Oh please (E major) tell her won't you mister
that she's (A major) still the only one
But a (B major) woman's love is waisted
when she (A major) loves a running (E major) gun
