Dr Hook - "Cooky and Lila" Chords

[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
He was a short order cook and not too much to look at
And he traded in his foot [C] for a medal in the war
_ He loved a girl named Lila in a bar across the highway
And you ought to see him smiling at her coming [F] through the door
Lila _ always [Am] knew [F] she wasn't no raving beauty
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at [C] sixteen
But she forgets to remember how he left her off in Denver
[G] When she [C] sees her cookie smiling as she opens [F] up the screen
And [Gm] he says, hi Lila, [F] how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, is the sugar [C] and the cream
_ _ [Bb] Cookie's been to war [F] and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casual [C] teas of someone else's [F] dream
_ _ _ Cookie _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ pours the trucker's coffee, Lila serves the rigger's whiskey
And resists their invitations to go riding [C] for a while
He's at a diner across the highway, on a shelf above the pastry
There's a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her [F] smile
[Bb] When he says, hi Lila, [F] how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, is the sugar [C] and the cream
Cause [Bb] Cookie's been to war [F] and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casual teas [C] of someone [F] else's dream
Now _ _ as the nation rolls along, like a semi down the highway
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass [C] along the road
I finally found my reason for believing in the future
Seeing Cookie and his Lila drinking coffee all [F] _
alone
Oh yes, [Gm] hi Lila, [F] how about a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your shoes off, is the sugar [C] and the cream
_ [Gm] Cause Cookie's been to war [F] and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casual teas of [C] someone [F] else's dream
_ _ [Gm] Cookie's been to [F] war _ and Lila's been to Denver
[Gm] And both [F] of them are casual teas [C] of someone [F] else's dream _ _ _
