VERSE 1:
[Dm] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her
[A] window
[A7]
[Dm] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her
[A] blind
[A7]
[D] She
[D7] was my
[Gm] woman,
[Dm] As she deceived me I
[A] watched, and went out of my
[Dm] mind
[C7]
CHORUS 1:
[F] My, my, my,
[C] Delilah; Why, why,
[C7] why,
[F] Delilah
I could
[F7] see, that
[A#] girl was no good for
[Gm] me,
[F] But I was lost like a
[C] slave that no one could
[F] free
[A open]
VERSE 2:
[Dm] At break of day when that man drove away I was
[A] waiting
[A7]
[Dm] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the
[A] door
[A7]
[D] She
[D7] stood there
[Gm] laughing
[Dm] I felt the knife in my
[A open] hand, and she laughed no
[Dm] more
[C7]
CHORUS 2:
[F] My, my, my,
[C] Delilah; Why, why,
[C7] why,
[F] Delilah
So
[F7] before, they
[A#] came to break down the
[Gm] door,
[F] Forgive me, Delilah, I
[C] just couldn't take any
[F] more
[A]
INSTRUMENTAL: [Dm] [A] [Dm] [A]
[D] She
[D7] stood there
[Gm] laughing
[Dm] I felt the knife in my
[A open] hand, and she laughed no
[Dm] more
[C7]
REPEAT CHORUS 2:
OUTRO:
[Dm] Forgive me, Delilah, I
[A] just couldn't take any
[Dm] more
[Gm] [Dm]
