Della and the Dealer
Hoyt Axton

Intro C  F  D  A  C  A


E      A
It was Della and a Dealer and a dog named Jake
      D
and a cat named Kalamazoo
C                     F
   Left the city in a pickup truck
D                            A
Gonna` make some dreams come true

Yeah they rolled out west

where the wild sun sets
        D
and the coyote bays at the moon
C                          F
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
      D               A
and a cat named Kalamazoo


        A
If that cat could talk what tales he`d tell
      E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well

But the cat was cool
                             A
And he never said a mumblin` word

Down Tucson way there`s a small cafe
           D
where they play a little cowboy tune
        C                   F
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
       D             A
by the name of Randy Boone


yeah Randy played her a sweet love song
    D
and Della got a fire in her eyes
    C                          F
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
        D                 A
and the cat had a shot of rye



If that cat could talk what tales he`d tell
      E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well

But the cat was cool
                             A
And he never said a mumblin` word


Yeah the Dealer was a killer

he was evil and mean
           D
and he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
   C                          F
He snorted his coke through a century note
       D                      A
and he swore that Boone would die


And the stage was set when the lights went out
          D
there was death in Tucson town
    C                   F
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
    D                 A
And one stayed on the ground

        A
If that cat could talk what tales he`d tell
      E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well

But the cat was cool
                             A
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

But the cat was cool
                             A
And he never said a mumblin` word



Two shadows ran from the bar that night
      D
and a dog and a cat ran too
    C                    F
The tires got hot on the pickup truck
   D                  A
as down the road they flew



It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
      D
and a cat named Kalamazoo
C                F
Left Tucson in a pickup truck
D                            A     N/C
Gonna` make some dreams come true  Yeah Yeah Yeah


        A
If that cat could talk what tales he`d tell
      E
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well

But the cat was cool
                             A
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

But the cat was cool
                             A
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

But the cat was cool
                             A
And he never said a mumblin` word   (Fade out)
