Verse 1

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
A* A7* Dm
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched, and went out of my mind 

Chorus

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free 

Verse 2

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
Am E7 N.C. Am G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more

Chorus

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 

Break

  
  

Verse Reprise

She stood there laughing
Am E7 N.C. Am G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more

Chorus

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
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any mo--oo--ore
