Standard (EADGBE)

It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo

L eft the city in a pick-up truck. G onna make some dreams come true

Well they rolled out west where the wild sun sets and the coyote bays at the

moon

Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalama zoo

If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell

About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well

But the cat was cool

And he never said a mum blin' word

Down Tucson way there's an old cafe where they play a little cowboy tune

The guitar picker was a friend of mine by the name of Randy Boone

Well Randy played her a sweet love song and Della got a fire in her eye

The Dealer had a gun and the dog had a knife and the cat had a shot of rye

~~chorus~~

Well the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean and he was jealous of the

fire in her eye

He snorted his coke through a century note and he swore that Boone would die

Well the stage was set when the lights went out there was death in Tucson

town

Bodies ran for the bar back door, but one stayed on the ground

~~chorus~~

Two bodies ran from the bar that night and a dog and a cat ran too

The tires got hot on the pickup truck, as down the road they flew

It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo

Left Tucson in a pickup truck. Gonna make some dreams come true

~~chorus~~ (2x)
