Am                                                E7
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

Am                                          E7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

A*  A7*    Dm
She was my woman

Am                   E7                          Am    G7
As she deceived me I watched, and went out of my mind


C             G
My, my, my, Delilah

G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah

C       C7       F                    Dm
I could see that girl was no good for me

C                     G                       C    E7
But I was lost like a slave that no one could free


Am                                             E7
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting

Am                                                   E7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

A   A7          Dm
She stood there laughing

Am                     E7                       Am     G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more


C             G
My, my, my, Delilah

G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah

C    C7        F                      Dm
So before they come to break down the door

C                      G                      C      E7
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more


Am E7
Am E7


A   A7          Dm
She stood there laughing

Am                     E7                       Am     G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more

C             G
My, my, my, Delilah

G              B C
Why, why, why, Delilah

C    C7        F                      Dm
So before they come to break down the door

C                      G                      C      E7
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more

Am                     E7                     Am  E7  Am     E7~Am
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any mo--oo--ore
