Delilah

Words & Music:

Les Reed, Barry Mason & Sylvan Whittingham

Em B A A7

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window.

Em B A A7

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind.

E E7 Am

She was my woman.

Em B E D

As she betrayed me, I watched, and went out of my mind.

CHORUS:

G D G

My, my, my, Delilah! Why, why, why, Delilah?

G G7 C Am

I could see that girl was no good for me.

G D G C

But I was lost like a slave that no one could free.

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting.

I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door.

She stood there laughing.

I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more.

My, my, my, Delilah! Why, why, why, Delilah?

Like before they came to break down the door.

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.

[INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE]

She stood there laughing.

I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more.

My, my, my, Delilah! Why, why, why, Delilah?

Like before they came to break down the door.

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
