Delilah Tom Jones
(Song wqas done in several different keys.
This was off the original recording.)
[Am]I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [E]window[E7].
[Am]I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [E]blind[E7].
[A]She [A7]was my [Dm]woman[Dm7].....[Am]as she deceived me I [E]watched
and went out of my [Am]mind.[G]
CHORUS:
[C]My, my, my, De[G]lilah...why, why, [G7]why, [B]De..[C]lilah?
[C]I could see, that [F]girl was no good for [Dm]me..
[C]But I was lost like a [G]slave that no man could [C]fr..[E]ee.

[Am]At break of day when that man drove away I was [E]waiting[E7].
[Am]I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [E]doo[E7]r.
[A]She [A7]stood there [Dm]laughing.[Dm7]......[Am]I felt the knife in my [E]hand,
and she laughed no [Am]more[G].
CHORUS:
[C]My, my, my, De[G]lilah...why, why, [G7]why, [B]De..[C]lilah?
[C]So, before they [F]come to break down the [Dm]door..
for[C]give me Delilah I [G]just couldn't take any [C]more[E].
