A D
It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
C F D A
Left the city in a pickup truck gonna make some dreams come true
A D
Yeah they rolled out west where the wild sun sets and the coyote bays at the moon
C F D A
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
[Chorus]
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
[Verse 2]
A D
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe where they play a little cowboy tune
C F D A
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine by the name of Randy Boone
A D
Yeah Randy played her a sweet love song and Della got a fire in her eyes
C F D A
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun and the cat had a shot of Rye
[Chorus]
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
[Verse 3]
A D
Yeah the Dealer was a killer he was evil and mean and he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
C F D A
He snorted his coke through a century note and he swore that Boone would die
A D
Yeah the stage was set when the lights went out there was death in Tucson town
C F D A
Two shadows ran for the bar backdoor and one stayed on the ground
[Chorus]
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
[Verse 4]
A D
Two shadows ran from the bar that night and a dog and a cat ran too
C F D A
And the tires got hot on the pickup truck as down the road they flew
A D
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
C F D A
Left Tucson in a pickup truck gonna make some dreams come true
[Chorus]
A
(Yeah yeah yeah) If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
A
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
E A
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
