The Running Gun chords by Riders In The Sky
Verse 1
D
G
A
G
I pulled
D
out of Kansas City,
G
headin' south to Mexico
A
Runnin', dodgin', danger
G
D
left a 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
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 left there
D
Couldn't stand it any longer
G
with this life that I'd begun
A
So I said goodbye to Jeannie
G
D
and became a running gun
I pulled into Amarillo
G
as the sun sank in the west
A
My thoughts in Kansas City
G
D
with the girl I loved the best
How she smiled and kissed me gently
G
as I turned away to go
A
Said I'd send for her to meet me
G
when I reached New Mexico
D
G
I had barely left the saddle
D
when 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 of being by the law
A
Challenged by a bounty hunter,
G
D
so I turned around to draw.
G
A
G
D
G
A
G
D
I knew someday I'd meet him,
G
his hand like lightning flashed
A
My own gun stood in leather
G
D
while his bullet tore its pad
Now my strength is slowly fading,
G
I can see him walk away
A
I know that where I lie tonight,
G
D
he too must lie someday
G
Now a crowd is slowly gathering
D
and my eyes are growing dim
G
My thoughts return to Jeannie
D
A
and the home that we had planned
D
Won't you tell her for me, mister,
G
she's still the only one
A
But a woman's love is wasted
G
D
when she loves a run -and -gun
A
A woman's love is wasted
G
D
when she loves a run -and -gun
