[Em] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [B] window [B7]

[G] My, my, my, [D] Delilah; Why, why, [D7] why, [G] Delilah

[Em] At break of day when that man drove away I was [B] waiting [B7]
[Em] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [B] door [B7]

[Em] I felt the knife in my [B open] hand, and she laughed no [Em] more [D7]

CHORUS 2:
[G] My, my, my, [D] Delilah; Why, why, [D7] why, [G] Delilah
So [G7] before, they [C] came to break down the [Am] door,
[G] Forgive me, Delilah, I [D] just couldn't take any [G] more [B]
