Key: :[Cm] (w: Les Reed, Barry Mason, Sylvan Whittingham)
VERSE 1:
[Cm] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her
[G] window
[G7]
[Cm] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her
[G] blind
[G7]
[C] She
[C7] was my
[Fm] woman,
[Cm] As she deceived me I
[G] watched, and went out of my
[Cm] mind
[A#7]
CHORUS 1:
[D#] My, my, my,
[A#] Delilah; Why, why,
[A#7] why,
[D#] Delilah
I could
[D#7] see, that
[G#] girl was no good for
[Fm] me,
[D#] But I was lost like a
[A#] slave that no one could
[D#] free
[G open]
VERSE 2:
[Cm] At break of day when that man drove away I was
[G] waiting
[G7]
[Cm] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the
[G] door
[G7]
[C] She
[C7] stood there
[Fm] laughing
[Cm] I felt the knife in my
[G open] hand, and she laughed no
[Cm] more
[A#7]
CHORUS 2:
[D#] My, my, my,
[A#] Delilah; Why, why,
[A#7] why,
[D#] Delilah
So
[D#7] before, they
[G#] came to break down the
[Fm] door,
[D#] Forgive me, Delilah, I
[A#] just couldn't take any
[D#] more
[G]
INSTRUMENTAL: [Cm] [G] [Cm] [G]
[C] She
[C7] stood there

[Cm] more
[A#7]
