Tom Jones, Delilah (1968)
^{Key: :[D#m] (w: Les Reed, Barry Mason, Sylvan Whittingham)}

VERSE 1:
[D#m] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [A#] window [A#7]
[D#m] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [A#] blind [A#7]
[D#] She [D#7] was my [G#m] woman,
[D#m] As she deceived me I [A#] watched, and went out of my [D#m] mind [C#7]

CHORUS 1:
[F#] My, my, my, [C#] Delilah; Why, why, [C#7] why, [F#] Delilah
I could [F#7] see, that [B] girl was no good for [G#m] me,
[F#] But I was lost like a [C#] slave that no one could [F#] free [A# open]

VERSE 2:
[D#m] At break of day when that man drove away I was [A#] waiting [A#7]
[D#m] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [A#] door [A#7]
[D#] She [D#7] stood there [G#m] laughing
[D#m] I felt the knife in my [A# open] hand, and she laughed no [D#m] more [C#7]

CHORUS 2:
[F#] My, my, my, [C#] Delilah; Why, why, [C#7] why, [F#] Delilah
So [F#7] before, they [B] came to break down the [G#m] door,
[F#] Forgive me, Delilah, I [C#] just couldn't take any [F#] more [A#]

INSTRUMENTAL: [D#m] [A#] [D#m] [A#]

[D#] She [D#7] stood there [G#m] laughing
[D#m] I felt the knife in my [A# open] hand, and she laughed no [D#m] more [C#7]

REPEAT CHORUS 2:

OUTRO:
[D#m] Forgive me, Delilah, I [A#] just couldn't take any [D#m] more [G#m] [D#m]
