Running Gun

(início)

D                                 G7
I rode out of Kansas City,going/ south to Mexico
       A                              G7                   D
I was/ running dodging danger,left the/ girl that I loved so
                                    G7
Far behind lay Kansas City and the/ past that I had earned
         A                                  G7               D
Twenty/ notches on my six gun marked the/ lessons I had learned
       G7                            D
Many times I sold my fast gun for a/ place to lay my head
          G7                              D                  A
Till the/ nights began to haunt me by the/ men that I lay dead
          D                            G7
Couldn't/ stand it any longer with the/ life that I'd begun
      A                             G7               D
So I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/ became a running gun
                             G7
I rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west
    A                               G7                   D
My thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best
                                            G7
As I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go
          A                               G7              D
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
G7                                   D
I had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground
        G7                                  D                 A
When a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
         D                              G7
Said he new about my fast gun,new the price paid by the law
               A                     G7                  D
Challenged by a bounty hunter,so I turned around to draw
  D                                  G7
I knew someday I'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed
    A                                 G7                D
My own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
                                              G7
As my strength was slowly fading,I could see him walk away
       A                               G7                 D
And I knew that where I lie today,he to must lie some day
G7                                       D
Now my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim
        G7
And my thoughts return to Jeannie
        D                       A
and the home that we had planned
          D
Oh please tell her won't you mister
            G7
that she's still the only one
       A                               G7                 D
But a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun
