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