[verse:]
Am                                                E
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Am                                          E
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
A          Dm
She was my woman
Am                   E                          Am    G
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind


   [chorus:]
   C           G
   My, my, my, delilah
                  C
   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 man could free


[verse:]
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more


   [chorus:]
   My, my, my delilah
   Why, why, why delilah
   So before they come to break down the door
   Forgive me delilah I just couldn’t take any more

[insert trumpet solo here on chords verse]

A               Dm
She stood there laughing
Am                     E                       Am     G
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more


   [chorus:]
   My, my, my delilah
   Why, why, why delilah
   So before they come to break down the door
   Forgive me delilah I just couldn’t take any more
   Forgive me delilah I just couldn’t take any more
