Intro 1

Verse 1
D

I rode out of Kansas City,
G

going south to Mexico
A

I was running dodging danger,
G
D

left the girl that I loved so

Far behind lay Kansas City
G

and the past that I had earned
A

Twenty notches on my six gun
G
D

marked the lessons I had learned
Chorus 1
G

Many times I sold my fast gun
D

for a place to lay my head
G

Till the nights began to haunt me
D
A

by the men that I lay dead
D

Couldn't stand it any longer
G

with this life that I'd begun
A

So I said good-bye to Jeannie
G
D

and become a running gun
Verse 2
D

I rode in to Amarillo
G

as the sun sank in the west
A

My thoughts in Kansas City
G
D

and the girl that I love best

As I smiled and kissed her gently
G

and then turned away to go
A

Said I'd send for her to meet me
G
D

when I reached old Mexico
Chorus 2
G

I had barely left the saddle
D

and my foot just touched the ground
G

When a cold voice from the shadows
D
A

told me not to turn around
D

Said he knew about my fast gun,
G

knew the price paid by the law
A

Challenged by a bounty hunter,
G
D

so I turned around to draw
Verse 3
D

I knew someday I'd meet him
G

for his hand like lightning flashed
A

My own gun stayed in leather
G
D

as his bullet tore its path

As my strength was slowly fading,
G

I could see him walk away
A

And I knew that where I lie tonight,
G
D

he too must lie some day
Chorus 3
G

Now a crowd is slowly gathering
D

but 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

But a woman's love is waisted
G
D

when she loves a running gun
Outro 1
D

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
