The Running Gun chords by
Riders In The Sky
Riders In The Sky

N/A
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

  • 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.
