Delta Dawn Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

INTRO: [B] [E] D..E..B [E] D..E

#1.
[E]In her younger days they [D]called her Delta [E]Dawn.
[E]Prettiest woman you [D]ever laid eyes [E]on.
But a [A]man of low degree stood by her [E]side.
[E]Promised her he'd [D]take her for his [E]bride.

[CHORUS]
[E]Delta Dawn what's that [A]flower you have [E]on?
[E]Could it be a faded rose from days gone [B]by?
[E]Did I hear you say he was [A]meetin' you here
[E]today..to take you to his mansion in the [B]sky[E] ?

#2.
[E]She's forty one and her [D]daddy still calls her, [E]baby.
[E]All the folks around [D]Brownsville say she's [E]crazy.
Cause she [A]walks downtown with a suitcase in her [E]hand.
[E]Lookin' for a [D]mysterious dark-haired [E]man.

[CHORUS]
[E]Delta Dawn what's that [A]flower you have [E]on?
[E]Could it be a faded rose from days gone [B]by?
[E]Did I hear you say he was [A]meetin' you here
[E]today..to take you to his mansion in the [B]sky[E] ?

[CHORUS]
[E]Delta Dawn what's that [A]flower you have [E]on?
[E]Could it be a faded rose from days gone [B]by?
[E]Did I hear you say he was [A]meetin' you here
[E]today..to take you to his mansion in the [A]sky[E] ?

[CHORUS]
[Gb]Delta Dawn what's that [B]flower you have [Gb]on?
[Gb]Could it be a faded rose from days gone [Db]by?
[Gb]Did I hear you say he was [B]meetin' you here
[Gb]today..to take you to his mansion in the [B]sky[Gb] ?

[CHORUS]
[Gb]Delta Dawn what's that [B]flower you have [Gb]on?
[Gb]Could it be a faded rose from days gone [Db]by?
[Gb]Did I hear you say he was [B]meetin' you here

[OUTRO]
