Text

Am E7

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

Am E7

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

A* A7* Dm

She was my woman

Am E7 Am G7

As she deceived me, I watched, and went out of my mind

Chorus:

C G G7 C

My, my, my, Delilah Why, why, why, Delilah

C C7 F Dm

I could see that girl was no good for me

So before they come to break down the door

C G C E7

But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more

Am E7

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting

Am E7

I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

A A7 Dm

She stood there laughing

Am E7 N.C. Am G7

I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more (Chorus)

Am E7
