 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 couldnʼt take any more

Am E7 x2

 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 couldnʼt take any more
 Am                       E7               Am E7 Am E7 Am
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldnʼt take any mo--oo--ore
