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

Della And The Dealer chords
This song can be played adding minors and sus chords but I think It sounds best as recorded originally. From Hoyt??s 1980 album "A Rusty Old Halo". Hoyt is another great music star we lost to the affects of drugs. He was addicted to cocaine and never fully recovered, he suffered a stroke in 1995 and died of a heart attack in 1999. He wrote many songs but perhaps his all time best was Green Back Dollar. He also acted in quite a few movies including "Gremlins".
