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
