A5                                                E5
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
A5                                          E5
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
A5   A5       D5
She was my woman
A5                   E5                           A5   G5    
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind


C5              G5
Why, why, why, Delilah?
G5               C5
Why, why, why, Delilah?
C5       C5       F5                    D5
I could see that girl was no good for me
C5                       G5                     A5   
Just like a slave I was lost and no man 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

But I held a knife in my hand, and she laughed no more

Why, why, why, Delilah?

Why, why, why, Delilah?

So, before they come to break down the door

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

So, before they come to break down the door

I held a knife in my hand


G5
Well, that's all right, mama

That's all right for you

That's all right mama, anyway you wanna do
                 C5
Well, that's all right, that's all right,
           D5                          G5
That's all right now mama, anyway you do

Well I'm leaving town, baby
leaving town for sure
you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
that's all right, that's all right,
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
