Delta Dawn Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[G]Delta Dawn, what's that [C]flower you have [G]on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone [D]by?
And [G]did I hear you say he was a- [C]meeting
you here [G]today
To take you to his [D]mansion in the [C]sky?[G]

[Verse 1]
She's [G]forty-one and her [F]daddy
still calls her [G]"baby"
All the folks around [F]Brownsville
say she's [G]crazy
'Cause she [C]walks down[G]town
with a [Am]suitcase in [D]her [G]hand
Looking for a mys[F]terious dark-haired [G]man

[Verse 2]
In her [G]younger days they [F]called
her Delta [G]Dawn
Prettiest woman you [F]ever laid eyes [G]on
Then a [C]man of [G]low [Am]degree
stood [D]by her [G]side
Promised her he'd [F]take her for his [G]bride

[Chorus 2]
[A]Delta Dawn, what's that [D]flower you have [A]on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone [E]by?
And [A]did I hear you say he was a- [D]meeting
you here [A]today
To take you to his [E]mansion in the [D]sky?[A]

[Chorus 3]
[A]Delta Dawn, what's that [D]flower you have [A]on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone [E]by?
And [A]did I hear you say he was a- [D]meeting
you here [A]today
To take you to his [E]mansion in the [D]sky?[A]

[Chorus 4]
[A]Delta Dawn, what's that [D]flower you have [A]on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone [E]by?
And [A]did I hear you say he was a- [D]meeting
you here [A]today
To take you to his [E]mansion in the [D]sky?[A]
[Repeat and Fade out]
