RUNNING GUN by Marty Robins

DD Piano Chord 
                                 G7G7 Piano Chord 

I rode out of Kansas City,going/ south to Mexico

AA Piano Chord 
                              G7G7 Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 

I was/ running dodging danger,left the/ girl that I loved so

G7G7 Piano Chord 

Far behind lay Kansas City and the/ past that I had earned

AA Piano Chord 
                                  G7G7 Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

Twenty/ notches on my six gun marked the/ lessons I had learned


G7G7 Piano Chord 
                            DD Piano Chord 

Many times I sold my fast gun for a/ place to lay my head

G7G7 Piano Chord 
                              DD Piano Chord 
                  AA Piano Chord 

Till the/ nights began to haunt me by the/ men that I lay dead

DD Piano Chord 
                            G7G7 Piano Chord 

Couldn't/ stand it any longer with the/ life that I'd begun

AA Piano Chord 
                             G7G7 Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 

So I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/ became a running gun


G7G7 Piano Chord 

I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west

AA Piano Chord 
                               G7G7 Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 

My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best

G7G7 Piano Chord 

As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go

AA Piano Chord 
                               G7G7 Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico


G7G7 Piano Chord 
                                   DD Piano Chord 

I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground

G7G7 Piano Chord 
                                  DD Piano Chord 
                 AA Piano Chord 

When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around

DD Piano Chord 
                              G7G7 Piano Chord 

Said he new about my fast gun,new the price paid by the law

AA Piano Chord 
                     G7G7 Piano Chord 
                  DD Piano Chord 

Challenged by a bounty hunter,so I turned around to draw


DD Piano Chord 
                                  G7G7 Piano Chord 

I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed

AA Piano Chord 
                                 G7G7 Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path

G7G7 Piano Chord 

As my strength was slowly fading,I could see him walk away

AA Piano Chord 
                               G7G7 Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 

And I knew that where I lie today,he to must lie some day



G7G7 Piano Chord 
                                       DD Piano Chord 

Now my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim

G7G7 Piano Chord 

And my thoughts return to Jeannie

DD Piano Chord 
                       AA Piano Chord 

and the home that we had planned

DD Piano Chord 

Oh please tell her won't you mister

G7G7 Piano Chord 

that she's still the only one

AA Piano Chord 
                               G7G7 Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 

But a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun


Cheers!!!
