Old 'Flame' was buzzin' like a saw, 
         Dm        Dm/A    G/B 
And the whole town got as quiet as a church... 

...When the killer stepped out for the draw!

Patti and the killer missed each other,

The killer took a step towards Patti, 
       Am/G  C                        C/G  C 
Said, "It's time I gunned ya down!" 
         Dm                           G 
But he slipped in somethin' that was lyin' in the street, 
         Am 
And was shot before he hit the ground! 

(Killed him ...the dummy! 
We had a pretty good song going here!)
