Marty Robbins - Running gun

I rode o^Eut of Kan-sas Ci-ty, going ^F#msouth to Mex-i-co I was r^Bun-ning dod-ging dan-ger,left the ^Agirl that I loved ^Eso Far be-h^Eind lay Kan-sas Ci-ty and the ^F#mpast that I had earned Twen-ty n^Bot-ches on my six gun marked the l^Aes-sons I had le^Earned

Ma-ny ti^Ames I sold my fast gun for a pl^Eace to lay my head Till the ni^Aghts be-gan to haunt me by the m^Een that I left d^Bead

Could-n't st^Eand it a-ny lon-ger with the l^F#mife that I'd beg-un So I s^Baid good-bye to Jean-nie and be-c^Aame a run-ning g^Eun

I rode ^Ein-to A-ma-ri-llo as the ^F#msun sank in the west My tho^Bughts in Kan-sas Ci-ty and the g^Airl that I love b^Eest As I sm^Eiled and kissed her gen-tly and then tu^F#mrned a-way to go Said I'd se^Bnd for her to meet me when I re^Aached old Mex-i-^Eco

I had ba^Are-ly left the sad-dle and my fo^Eot just touched the ground When a c^Aold voice from the sha-dows told me n^Eot to turn a-ro^Bund

Said he ^Eknew a-bout my fast gun, knew the^F#m price paid by the law Chal-lenged ^Bby a boun-ty hun-ter, so I tu^Arned a-round to dr^Eaw

I k^Enew some-day I'd meet him, for his ^F#mhand like light-ning flashed My o^Bwn gun stood in lea-ther as his b^Aul-let tore its pa^Eth

As my str^Eength was slow-ly fad-ing, I could ^F#msee him walk away And I kn^Bew that where I lie to-night, he t^Aoo must lie some d^Eay

N^Aow a crowd is slow-ly gath-ering but my e^Eyes are grow-ing dim And my tho^Aughts re-turn to Jean-nie and the h^Eome that we had pl^Banned

Oh please te^Ell her, won't you mis-ter, that she's s^F#mtill the on-ly one But a ^Bwo-man's love is was-ted when she lo^Aves a run-ning g^Eun
