VERSE 1:
[Am] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her
[E] window
[E7]
[Am] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her
[E] blind
[E7]
[A] She
[A7] was my
[Dm] woman,
[Am] As she deceived me I
[E] watched, and went out of my
[Am] mind
[G7]
CHORUS 1:
[C] My, my, my,
[G] Delilah; Why, why,
[G7] why,
[C] Delilah
I could
[C7] see, that
[F] girl was no good for
[Dm] me,
[C] But I was lost like a
[G] slave that no one could
[C] free
[E open]
VERSE 2:
[Am] At break of day when that man drove away I was
[E] waiting
[E7]
[Am] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the
[E] door
[E7]
[A] She
[A7] stood there
[Dm] laughing
[Am] I felt the knife in my
[E open] hand, and she laughed no
[Am] more
[G7]
CHORUS 2:
[C] My, my, my,
[G] Delilah; Why, why,
[G7] why,
[C] Delilah
So
[C7] before, they
[F] came to break down the
[Dm] door,
[C] Forgive me, Delilah, I
[G] just couldn't take any
[C] more
[E]
INSTRUMENTAL: [Am] [E] [Am] [E]

[E open] hand, and she laughed no
[Am] more
[G7]
