| F#m | C# | C#7 | | I saw the light on the night that I passed by her | window | |
|
| F#m | C# | | I saw the flickering shadows of love on her | blind |
|
| F# | F#7 | Bm | | She | was my | woman |
|
| F#m | C# | C#7 | F#m | E | | As she deceived me I | watched, and went | out of my | mind | |
|
|
|
| | E7 | A | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | A | A7 | D | Bm | | | I could | see that | girl was no good for | me |
|
| | A | E | A | C#7 | | But | I was lost like a | slave that no man could | free | |
|
|
| F#m | C# | C#7 | | At break of day when that man drove away I was | waiting | |
|
| F#m | C# | | I crossed the street to her house and she opened the | door |
|
| F# | F#7 | Bm | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| F#m | C# | C#7 | F#m | E | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | E7 | A | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | A | A7 | D | Bm | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | A | E | A | C#7 | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more | |
|
|

|
|
| F# | F#7 | Bm | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| F#m | C# | C#7 | F#m | E | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | E7 | A | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | A | A7 | D | Bm | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | A | E | A | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more |
|
|
| F#m | C# | F#m | B | F#m | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more | | |
