| Dm | A | A7 | | I saw the light on the night that I passed by her | window | |
|
| Dm | A | | I saw the flickering shadows of love on her | blind |
|
|
| Dm | A | A7 | Dm | C | | As she deceived me I | watched, and went | out of my | mind | |
|
|
|
| | C7 | F | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | F | F7 | Bb | Gm | | | I could | see that | girl was no good for | me |
|
| | F | C | F | A7 | | But | I was lost like a | slave that no man could | free | |
|
|
| Dm | A | A7 | | At break of day when that man drove away I was | waiting | |
|
| Dm | A | | I crossed the street to her house and she opened the | door |
|
| D | D7 | Gm | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| Dm | A | A7 | Dm | C | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | C7 | F | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | F | F7 | Bb | Gm | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | F | C | F | A7 | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more | |

| D | D7 | Gm | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| Dm | A | A7 | Dm | C | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | C7 | F | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | F | F7 | Bb | Gm | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | F | C | F | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more |
