Verse 1
I (D major) pulled (G major) (A major) (G major)
(D major) out of Kansas City,
headin' south (G major) to Mexico
Run (A major) nin', dodgin', danger
left a girl (G major) that I loved so (D major)
Far behind lay Kansas City
and the (G major) past that I had earned
Twenty notches (A major) on my six -gun
marked the (G major) lessons I had (D major) learned
Many times (G major) I sold my fast gun
for a (D major) place to lay my head
Till the (G major) nights began to haunt me
by the (D major) men that I left (A major) there
Couldn't stand (D major) it any longer
with this (G major) life that I'd begun
So I (A major) said goodbye to Jeannie
and be (G major) came a running gun (D major)
I pulled into Amarillo
as the (G major) sun sank in the west
My thoughts (A major) in Kansas City
with the girl (G major) I loved the (D major) best
How she smiled and kissed me gently
as I (G major) turned away to go
Said I'd (A major) send for her to meet me
when I (G major) reached New Mexico
(D major) I had (G major) barely left the saddle
when my (D major) foot just touched the ground
When a cold (G major) voice from the shadows
told me (D major) not to turn around (A major)
Said he knew (D major) about my fast gun,
knew the price (G major) of being by the law
Challenged (A major) by a bounty hunter,
so I (G major) turned around to (D major) draw.
(G major) (A major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(G major) (D major)
I knew someday I'd meet him,
his (G major) hand like lightning flashed
My own (A major) gun stood in leather
while his (G major) bullet tore its pad (D major)
Now my strength is slowly fading,
I can see (G major) him walk away
I (A major) know that where I lie tonight,
he too (G major) must lie (D major) someday
Now a (G major) crowd is slowly gathering
and my (D major) eyes are growing dim
My (G major) thoughts return to Jeannie
and the (D major) home that we had (A major) planned
Won't you tell her for (D major) me, mister,
she's (G major) still the only one
But a (A major) woman's love is wasted
when she loves (G major) a run -and (D major) -gun
A (A major) woman's love is wasted
when she (G major) loves a run -and (D major) -gun
