Tom Jones, Delilah (1968)
^{Key: :[F#m] (w: Les Reed, Barry Mason, Sylvan Whittingham)}
VERSE 1:
[F#m] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [C#] window [C#7]
[F#m] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [C#] blind [C#7]
[F#] She [F#7] was my [Bm] woman,
[F#m] As she deceived me I [C#] watched, and went out of my [F#m] mind [E7]

CHORUS 1:
[A] My, my, my, [E] Delilah; Why, why, [E7] why, [A] Delilah
I could [A7] see, that [D] girl was no good for [Bm] me,
[A] But I was lost like a [E] slave that no one could [A] free [C# open]

VERSE 2:
[F#m] At break of day when that man drove away I was [C#] waiting [C#7]
[F#m] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [C#] door [C#7]
[F#] She [F#7] stood there [Bm] laughing
[F#m] I felt the knife in my [C# open] hand, and she laughed no [F#m] more [E7]

CHORUS 2:
[A] My, my, my, [E] Delilah; Why, why, [E7] why, [A] Delilah
So [A7] before, they [D] came to break down the [Bm] door,
[A] Forgive me, Delilah, I [E] just couldn't take any [A] more [C#]

INSTRUMENTAL: [F#m] [C#] [F#m] [C#]

[F#] She [F#7] stood there [Bm] laughing
[F#m] I felt the knife in my [C# open] hand, and she laughed no [F#m] more [E7]

REPEAT CHORUS 2:

OUTRO:
[F#m] Forgive me, Delilah, I [C#] just couldn't take any [F#m] more [Bm] [F#m]
