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

VERSE 1:
[C#m] I saw the light on the night that I passed by her [G#] window [G#7]
[C#m] I saw the flickering shadows of love on her [G#] blind [G#7]
[C#] She [C#7] was my [F#m] woman,
[C#m] As she deceived me I [G#] watched, and went out of my [C#m] mind [B7]

CHORUS 1:
[E] My, my, my, [B] Delilah; Why, why, [B7] why, [E] Delilah
I could [E7] see, that [A] girl was no good for [F#m] me,
[E] But I was lost like a [B] slave that no one could [E] free [G# open]

VERSE 2:
[C#m] At break of day when that man drove away I was [G#] waiting [G#7]
[C#m] I crossed the street to her house and she opened the [G#] door [G#7]
[C#] She [C#7] stood there [F#m] laughing
[C#m] I felt the knife in my [G# open] hand, and she laughed no [C#m] more [B7]

CHORUS 2:
[E] My, my, my, [B] Delilah; Why, why, [B7] why, [E] Delilah
So [E7] before, they [A] came to break down the [F#m] door,
[E] Forgive me, Delilah, I [B] just couldn't take any [E] more [G#]

INSTRUMENTAL: [C#m] [G#] [C#m] [G#]

[C#] She [C#7] stood there [F#m] laughing
[C#m] I felt the knife in my [G# open] hand, and she laughed no [C#m] more [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS 2:

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