Gm                                                D (w/ Riff 1)     
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

Gm                                          D (w/ Riff 1) 
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

G5  G7b9 G5 C5  C5  C5  C5
She was  my   woman

G5                 D5                           G5    F5
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind

    Bb5          Bb5        F5        F5          F5     F5   D7b9
And just like a slave I was lost and no one could free

VERSE

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


CHORUS 2

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
SO before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more
