D (xx0232@1) G7Couldn't/ (320001@1)stand it any longer with the/ life that I'd begun
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DSo (xx0232@1)I/ said good-bye to Jeannie and/ became a running gun
G7I (320001@1)rode into Amarillo as the sun sank in the west
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DMy (xx0232@1)thoughts in Kansas City and the girl that I love best
G7As (320001@1)I smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DSaid (xx0232@1)I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mexico
G7 (320001@1) DI (xx0232@1)had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground
G7 (320001@1) D (xx0232@1) AWhen (x02220@1)a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around
D (xx0232@1) G7Said (320001@1)he new about my fast gun,new the price paid by the law
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DChallenged (xx0232@1)by a bounty hunter,so I turned around to draw

A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DMy (xx0232@1)own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path
G7As (320001@1)my strength was slowly fading,I could see him walk away
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)I knew that where I lie today,he to must lie some day
G7 (320001@1) DNow (xx0232@1)my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim
G7And (320001@1)my thoughts return to Jeannie
D (xx0232@1) Aand (x02220@1)the home that we had planned
DOh (xx0232@1)please tell her won't you mister
G7that (320001@1)she's still the only one
A (x02220@1) G7 (320001@1) DBut (xx0232@1)a woman's love is waisted when she loves a running gun
Cheers!!!
