Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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)
