Delilah Chords


[Verse 1]
Am                                           
I saw the light on the night that I passed by
    E7
her window
Am                                          
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her 
E7
blind
A*  A7*    Dm
She was my woman
Am                   E7                      
As she deceived me I watched, and went out of
   Am    G7
my mind

[Chorus]
C             G
My, my, my, Delilah
G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C       C7       F                    Dm
I could see that girl was no good for me
C                     G                      
But I was lost like a slave that no man could
C    E7
free

[Verse 2]
Am                                         
At break of day when that man drove away I 
   E7
was waiting
Am                                        
I crossed the street to her house and she 
          E7
opened the door
A   A7          Dm
She stood there laughing
Am                     E7   N.C.             
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed 
  Am     G7
no more

[Chorus]
C             G
My, my, my, Delilah
G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C    C7        F                      Dm
So before they come to break down the door
C                      G                     
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any
C      E7
more

[Break]
Am E7
Am E7

[Verse Reprise]
A   A7          Dm
She stood there laughing
Am                     E7  N.C.              
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed 
  Am     G7
no more

[Chorus]
C             G
My, my, my, Delilah
G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C    C7        F                      Dm
So before they come to break down the door
C                      G                     
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any
C
more
Am                     E7                    
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any
Am  Dm  Am     E7 Am
mo--oo--ore
