Tom Jones, Delilah (1968)
^{Key: :[G#m] (w: Les Reed, Barry Mason, Sylvan Whittingham)}

VERSE 1:
[G#m] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [D#] window [D#7]
[G#m] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [D#] blind [D#7]
[G#] She [G#7] was my [C#m] woman,
[G#m] As she deceived me I [D#] watched, and went out of my [G#m] mind [F#7]

CHORUS 1:
[B] My, my, my, [F#] Delilah; Why, why, [F#7] why, [B] Delilah
I could [B7] see, that [E] girl was no good for [C#m] me,
[B] But I was lost like a [F#] slave that no one could [B] free [D# open]

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

CHORUS 2:
[B] My, my, my, [F#] Delilah; Why, why, [F#7] why, [B] Delilah
So [B7] before, they [E] came to break down the [C#m] door,
[B] Forgive me, Delilah, I [F#] just couldn't take any [B] more [D#]

INSTRUMENTAL: [G#m] [D#] [G#m] [D#]

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

REPEAT CHORUS 2:

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