Delta Dawn

DELTA DAWN (Alex Harvey & Larry Collins) 
---------------------------------------- 
{I got this from some sheet music I had lying around; it's probably 
 transcribed from the Helen Reddy version.  I haven't heard either hers 
 or Tanya Tucker's in years.  I think, at least in Tucker's version, it 
 modulates up a whole step for the end of the song.  I'm not sure what 
 key it really should be in; I put it in G because it's easy.  (The music 
 I had was in F, but F sucks.)  I'm also not sure of the placement of 
 verses, choruses, etc.} 
{Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen 
 (e.g. "G - D" are a half-measure _total_.} 
 
G     G                 C                G 
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 
          G          G                  D      D 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by 
    G               G           C                   G 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
   G               G   -   D      C      G 
To take you to his mansion in the sky 
 
      G                 F                       G    G 
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby" 
G                    F                     G     G 
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 
           C      -     E/B         Am   -   D7     G     G 
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand 
G             F                      G    G 
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man 
 
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on 
Then a man of low degree stood by her side 
And promised her he'd take her for his bride 
 
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
To take you to his mansion in the sky 
 
etc...
