Delta Dawn - Tanya Tucker
|[Chorus]
|[C]Delta Dawn
|What's that [F]flower you have[C] on?
|Could it [C]be a faded rose from days gone[G] by?
|And [C]did I hear you say
|He was [F]meeting you here to[C]day
|To [C]take you to his mansion[G] in the[F] sky[C]
[Verse 1]
She's [C]forty-one
And her [A#]daddy still calls her [C]baby
[C]All the folks round[A#] Brownsville say she's[C] crazy
Cause she [F]walks downtown
With her [Dm]suitcase [G]in her [C]hand
[C]Looking for a my[A#]sterious dark haired[C] man
[Verse 2]
In her [C]younger days
They [A#]called her Delta [C]Dawn
[C]Prettiest woman[A#] you ever laid eyes[C] on
Then a [F]man of low degree
[Dm]Stood [G]by her [C]side
[C]Promised her he'd[A#] take her for his[C] bride
|[Chorus]
