Delilah

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.

(C)My my my

(G7)Delilah,

(G7)Why why (G9)why

(B7)(C)Delilah?

(C)I could (C7)see that (F)girl was no good for (Dm)me,

(C)but I was lost like a (G7)slave that no man could (C)free.

(E7)At break of day, when that man drove away,

I was waitin',

(Am)I crossed the street to her house and she opened the (E7)door.

(A7)stood there (Dm)laughing,

(Am)I felt the knife in my (E7)hand,

and she laughed no (Am)more.

(C)My, my, my

(G7)Delilah.

(G7)Why, why, (G9)why

(B7)(C)Delilah?

(C)So, (C7)before they (F)come to break down the (Dm)door,

(C)forgive me Delilah I (G7)just couldn't take (C)anymore.

(C)more.

(C)(Am)Forgive me, Delilah, I (E7)just couldn't take any (Am)more.
