verse 1 
Em  
Johnny loved his daddy's gun 
                      Bm 
He loved the farmer's daughter 
    Em 
She loved the sheriff's only son 

But loved what Johnny bought her 
    Em 
She met the sheriff's joy and pride 
                      Bm 
They met in darkness, late  
      Em 
While Johnny met his darker side 
                              G 
And they all would meet their fate  
 

[Refrão]
Em 
Running, but he's not a coward 
G 
Always hiding from his crime 
  Em 
A step away from being devoured 
G 
Just a victim of his time 
   Em 
He runs the night, his gun a blazing 
   G 
He knows the sheriff won't forgive 
Em 
Hell bent on hell raising 
                              Em  G 
He'll live or die a fugitive 

verse 2 
    Em 
She wore a dress that Johnny bought 
                    Bm 
She wore it for the son 
     
The son, he wore a yellow spot  
    G             Em 
And Johnny wore a gun 
                         
The sheriff's son turned pale with fright 
                   Bm 
He turned tail and fled 
         Em 
Johnny's gun turned out his light 
    G                 Em 
And turned his yellow red
