Tom Jones, Delilah (1968)
Key: :[Fm] (w: Les Reed, Barry Mason, Sylvan Whittingham)
VERSE 1:
[Fm] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her
[C] window
[C7]
[Fm] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her
[C] blind
[C7]
[F] She
[F7] was my
[A#m] woman,
[Fm] As she deceived me I
[C] watched, and went out of my
[Fm] mind
[D#7]
CHORUS 1:
[G#] My, my, my,
[D#] Delilah; Why, why,
[D#7] why,
[G#] Delilah
I could
[G#7] see, that
[C#] girl was no good for
[A#m] me,
[G#] But I was lost like a
[D#] slave that no one could
[G#] free
[C open]
VERSE 2:
[Fm] At break of day when that man drove away I was
[C] waiting
[C7]
[Fm] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the
[C] door
[C7]
[F] She
[F7] stood there
[A#m] laughing
[Fm] I felt the knife in my
[C open] hand, and she laughed no
[Fm] more
[D#7]
CHORUS 2:
[G#] My, my, my,
[D#] Delilah; Why, why,
[D#7] why,
[G#] Delilah
So
[G#7] before, they
[C#] came to break down the
[A#m] door,
[G#] Forgive me, Delilah, I
[D#] just couldn't take any
[G#] more
[C]
INSTRUMENTAL: [Fm] [C] [Fm] [C]
[F] She
[F7] stood there
[A#m] laughing
[Fm] I felt the knife in my
[C open] hand, and she laughed no
[Fm] more
[D#7]
