Delilah [Am] - Tom Jones
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Verse 1]
[Am] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [E7] window
[Am] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [E7] blind
[A] She [A7] was my [Dm] woman
[Am] As she deceived me I [E7] watched, and went out of my [Am] mind [G7]
|[Chorus 1]
|[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
|[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
|[C] I could [C7] see that [F] girl was no good for [Dm] me
|[C] But I was lost like a [G*] slave that no one could [C] free [E7]
[Verse 2]
[Am] At break of day when that man drove away I was [E7] waiting
[Am] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [E7] door
[A] She [A7] stood there [Dm] laughing
[Am] I felt the knife in my [E7*] hand,
And she laughed no [Am] more [G7]
|[Chorus 2]
|[C] My, my, my, De-[G]-lilah
|[G] Why, why, [G7] why, De-[C]-lilah
|[C] So be-[C7]-fore they [F] come to break down the [Dm] door
|[C] Forgive me, Delilah, I [G] just couldn't take any [C] more [E7]
[Verse 2 w/ instrumental break]
