<< Back to Marty Robbins Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse]
        E                          F#m
I rode out of Kan-sas Ci-ty, going south to Mex-i-co
       B                                 A                 E
I was run-ning dod-ging dan-ger,left the girl that I loved so
        E                             F#m
Far be-hind lay Kan-sas Ci-ty and the past that I had earned
         B                                 A               E
Twen-ty not-ches on my six gun marked the les-sons I had learned


[Bridge]
        A                              E
Ma-ny times I sold my fast gun for a place to lay my head
           A                               E               B
Till the nights be-gan to haunt me by the men that I left dead


[Verse]
            E                             F#m
Could-n't stand it a-ny lon-ger with the life that I'd beg-un
      B                                A               E
So I said good-bye to Jean-nie and be-came a run-ning gun

       E                        F#m
I rode in-to A-ma-ri-llo as the sun sank in the west
      B                               A                E
My thoughts in Kan-sas Ci-ty and the girl that I love best
       E                                      F#m
As I smiled and kissed her gen-tly and then turned a-way to go
           B                              A               E
Said I'd send for her to meet me when I reached old Mex-i-co


[Bridge]
        A                               E
I had bare-ly left the sad-dle and my foot just touched the ground
        A                                    E              B
When a cold voice from the sha-dows told me not to turn a-round


[Verse]
        E                                F#m
Said he knew a-bout my fast gun, knew the price paid by the law
            B                            A                 E
Chal-lenged by a boun-ty hun-ter, so I turned a-round to draw

   E                                  F#m
I knew some-day I'd meet him, for his hand like light-ning flashed
    B                                A                 E
My own gun stood in lea-ther as his bul-let tore its path

         E                                  F#m
As my strength was slow-ly fad-ing, I could see him walk away
        B                                 A                 E
And I knew that where I lie to-night, he too must lie some day

[Bridge]
 A                                        E
Now a crowd is slow-ly gath-ering but my eyes are grow-ing dim
          A                                  E                 B
And my thoughts re-turn to Jean-nie and the home that we had planned


[Verse]
            E                                      F#m
Oh please tell her, won't you mis-ter, that she's still the on-ly one
      B                                   A               E
But a wo-man's love is was-ted when she loves a run-ning gun
