| Em | B | B7 | | I saw the light on the night that I passed by her | window | |
|
| Em | B | | I saw the flickering shadows of love on her | blind |
|
|
| Em | B | B7 | Em | D | | As she deceived me I | watched, and went | out of my | mind | |
|
|
|
| | D7 | G | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | G | G7 | C | Am | | | I could | see that | girl was no good for | me |
|
| | G | D | G | B7 | | But | I was lost like a | slave that no man could | free | |
|
|
| Em | B | B7 | | At break of day when that man drove away I was | waiting | |
|
| Em | B | | I crossed the street to her house and she opened the | door |
|
| E | E7 | Am | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| Em | B | B7 | Em | D | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | D7 | G | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | G | G7 | C | Am | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | G | D | G | B7 | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more | |
|

| E | E7 | Am | | She | stood there | laughing |
|
| Em | B | B7 | Em | D | | I felt the knife in my | hand, and she | laughed no | more | |
|
|
|
| | D7 | G | | | Why, why, why, De | lilah |
|
| | G | G7 | C | Am | | | So be | fore they | come to break down the | door |
|
| | G | D | G | | For | give me, Delilah, I | just couldn’t take any | more |
