Delilah

Tom Jones

Em B7
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window.
Em B7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind.
E E7 Am Em
She was my woman - as she deceived me
B7 Em D7
I watched and went out of my mind.
G7 D7 G
My, my, my Delilah. - Why, why, why Delilah?
G7 C Am
I could see that girl Was not good for me,
G D7 G B7
But I was lost like a slave That no man could free.
 
Em B7
At break of the day when that man drove away I was waiting.
Em B7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door.
E E7 Am Em B7
She stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand
Em D7
and she laughed no more.
G7 D7 G
My, my, my Delilah, Why, why, why Delilah?
G7 C Am
So before they come to break down the door,
G D7 G
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
 
Em B7 Em A Em
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
