TOM JONES - "Delilah" (The Ed Sullivan Show)
Capo 3rd fret
Em B7
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Em B7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
E E7 Am
She was my woman
Em B7 Em D7
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind
G D7
My, my, my, Delilah
D7 G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G G7 C Am
I could see that girl was no good for me
G D7 G B7
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
"repeat the chords of the first two lines of the verse"
E E7 Am
She stood there laughing
Em B7 Em D7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more
G D7
My, my, my, Delilah
D7 G
Why, why, why, Delilah
G G7 C Am
So before they came to break down the door
G D7 G G7
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
Em B7 Em B7 Em
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
