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