Tom: Am
Am E - E7
1. I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window,
Am E - E7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind.
A A7 Dm
She was my woman,
Am E Am - G7
as she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind.
C G G7 C
My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah.
C7 F Dm
I could see, that girl was no good for me,
C G C - E
but I was lost like a slave that no one could free.
Am E - E7
2. At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Am E - E7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door.
A A7 Dm
She stood there laughing.
Am E Am - G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more.
C G G7 C
My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah.
C7 F Dm
So before, they came to break down the door,
C G C
forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
Am E Am - Dm - Am
forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
