Cow Patti Chords by Jim Stafford

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ From the badlands came the killer.
He lived by the [C] knife and the gun.
_ _ [Dm] He'd cut you [G] just
for standing, shoot [Am] you if you tried to run. _
_ _ [A] He was big as a tree and he did as he pleased,
and everything [B] he did [C] was bad.
_ [D] They said if you [G] was to kill him, [A] it'd only make him mad. _ _
_ _ From the goodlands came the cowgirl.
Patty was [C] her name.
_ _ [D] She was hot on the trail [G] of
that killer [A] on a moped she called Flame. _ _ _
Because the killer had killed her daddy just [B] for spitting
in [C] the road.
_ [D] You only had to kill [G] her daddy once [A] to get that gal P.O.'d. _ _ _
_ [G] Yippee-aye, [C] cow Patty. _ _
_ [G] Yippee-aye, [C] cow Patty. _ _
[G] She rode into town to find [E] the man that [Am] killed her daddy.
_ [G] _ _ Yippee-aye, _
_ [Am] cow Patty. _ _ _
_ _ Killer hit town at daybreak, ate the door off [C] the local saloon.
_ He [D] started to
drink.
You could tell he was thinking [Am] there'll be a showdown soon. _ _ _
_ Patty hit town in a cloud of dust.
Old Flame was [C] buzzing like a saw.
[G] [Dm] The whole [G] town got as quiet as [A] a church when the killer stepped
out for the draw. _ _ _
Forty shots [Eb] rang out.
[A] _ _ _ _
[C] Forty people fell. _ _ _ _ _
[D] Patty and the killer missed each
[A] other, but they shot that town to hell.
[C] _ [G] Yippee-aye, [C] cow Patty. _ _
_ _ [G] Yippee-aye, [C] cow Patty. _
[G] She rode into
town to [E] find the man that [A] killed her daddy.
_ [G] _ _ [C] Yippee [G]-aye, _
_ [Am] cow Patty. _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] Killer took a step toward Patty, said
it's time I [C] gunned you down.
_ [D] But he slipped in something that [A] was laying in the street and was
shot [Eb] before he hit the [A] ground.
_ Yes, the killer slipped and it cost him his life.
And Patty said
as she roared [F] out of town, _ you gotta watch [Dbm] your step when you know the chips are down.
