Capo 4

CHORUS

[G]Delta Dawn, what's that [C]flower you have o[G]n

Could it b[G]e a faded rose from days gone [D]by

And [G]did I hear you s[G7]ay he was a-[C]meeting you here tod[G]ay

To [Em]take you to his mans[D]ion in the [C]sky [G]

VERSES

She's [G]forty-one and her [F]daddy still calls her "b[G]aby"

[G]All the folks around [F]Brownsville say she's [G]crazy

'Cause she [C]walks a[-]round town with a [Am]suitc[-]ase [D7]in her [G]hand

[G]Looking for a [F]mysterious dark-haired [G]man

In her [G] younger days they cal[F]led her Delta [G]Dawn

[G]Prettiest woman yo[F]u ever laid eyes [G]on

Then a [C]man of low degree stood b[Am]y he[D7]r si[G]de

And [G]promised her he'd [F]take her for his bri[G]de

#(I got this from some sheet music I had lying around; it's probably
# transcribed from the Helen Reddy version.  I haven't heard either hers
# or Tanya Tucker's in years.  I think, at least in Tucker's version, it
# modulates up a whole step for the end of the song.  I'm not sure what
# key it really should be in; I put it in G because it's easy.  (The music
# I had was in F, but F sucks.)  I'm also not sure of the placement of
# verses, choruses, etc.)
#(Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen
# (e.g. "G - D" are a half-measure _total_.)
