Delilah

| 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 De | lilah. - Why, why, why De | lilah? |
| 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 De | lilah, Why, why, why De | lilah? |
| G7 | C | Am | |
| So be | fore they | come to break down the | door, |
| G | D7 | G | |
| For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn't take any | more. |
| Em | B7 | Em | A | Em | |
| For | give me Delilah, I | just couldn't take any | more. |
