[D]
Here's a cow the vowel swung, [Bm] rode astray, threw one's head
Hardly [D] spoke to folks around who didn't have much [Bm] to say
[G] No one dared to ask his business, [D] no one dared to make a slip
The strangest there among them had a big [Bm] iron on his hip
[G] Big iron [D] on his hip
Big
[G] iron, [D] big iron
The strangest there among [Bm] them had a big iron on
[G] [D] his hip
[B] I
[E] rode out of Kansas City [A] going fast to make some money
[B] I was running God's danger, [A] left with the [E] clothes that I had stolen
Far behind lay Kansas City [A] and the fast that I had earned
[B] Putting arches on my six-gun [A] marked the lesson I [E] had learned
Many [A] times I stole my fast gun for [E] a place to lay my head
Till [A] the lights began to haunt me [E] by the men [B] that I had feared
[E] Couldn't stand it any longer [A] with this life that I had begun
[B] So I said goodbye to Cheney and [A] became [E] running God
Running God Running God

Out in the West, [Em] Texas town, there's a [A] horseman
Out in the West, Texas [Dm] town, there's a [D] horseman
Night time would find [Em] me in Rosa's Cantina
[A] Music would play and Felina [D] would whirl
Blacker than night were [Em] the eyes of Felina
[A] Wicked and evil while [D] casting a spell
My love was deep for this [Em] Mexican maiden
[A] I was in love but in vain I [D] could tell
[G] One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West [D] Texas wind
Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina, a girl [G] that I loved
[Em] So in [A] anger I [D] challenged his rightful
[Em] The love of this maiden [A] [Em] down went his hand
For the gun that he [D] wore
My challenge was answered in [Em] less than a heartbeat
[A] The handsome young stranger lay [G] dead on [D] the floor
From out of nowhere [Em] Felina has found me
[A] Kissing my cheek as she kneels [D] by my side
Created by two [Em] loving arms that I'll die for
[A] One little kiss and Felina [B] Good
[D]
