DELILAH (Tom Jones)


Em                                                 B    
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
                                             Em
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
 E   E7    Am
She was my woman
Em                    B                           E    D
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind


G              D
My, my, my, Delilah
 D                G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G       G7        C                   Am
I could see that girl was no good for me
 G                     D                        G    
But I was lost like a slave that no one could free


Em                                              B
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
                                                      Em
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
E     E7         Am
She stood there laughing
Em                      B                        E     D
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more


G              D
My, my, my, Delilah
 D                G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G       G7       C                       Am  
Like before they came to break down the door
    G                    D                     G 
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more


Em                   B             Em

E     E7         Am
She stood there laughing
Em                       B                       E    D  
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more


G              D
My, my, my, Delilah
 D                G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G       G7       C                       Am  
Like before they came to break down the door
    G                    D                     G   
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
