Dear Delilah  (1968)     (video)

 

       Am           -  F                            E                 Am

1. Each night         when watching dying of the day,

                     F        E                       Am

    I seem to find I hardly know my way around.

 

     Am    - F                  E                       Am

2. Even        with the crowd I‘m on my own,

                       F          E                       Am                   - A

    now she‘s gone, I don‘t know if I‘m lost or found.

 

A                                   E

    You‘re bringing me down, dear Delilah,

A                                          E

    I can see you hanging around, dear Delilah.

 

     F                                       E

+      It‘s hard to realize and harder to see,

F                                                     E

    and harder still when someone tells you

A                    C#m                      F#m             F  

    she wanted someone else that  I  couldn‘t be.

 

+  CHORUS        +  Am - F - E  (2x)

 

      Am             - F                E                     Am

3. Wind blown,       and I‘m falling with the wind,

                     F             E                      Am                     - A

    was I too fast, too slow, or did the weather change.

 

+  CHORUS

 

    F                                             E

+     And when you ask me if I need her, I do,

F                                               E

    but ask me why and I can‘t tell you,

A            C#m                         F#m              F 

    I only know that she means so much to me.     +  CHORUS (2x) ….
