Gm                                          D (w/ Riff 1)

She was  my   woman

Gm/D                 D                           Gm    F
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind

    Bb          Bb/F        F        F/C          F     F/C   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

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