Delta Dawn   (midi) 


                  D                           C               G      D

1. In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn,

                                       C               G           D

    prettiest woman you ever have laid eyes on.

                    G                                               D

    Then a man of low degree stood by her side,

                                           C           G          D

    and promised her he'd take her for his bride.


    D                                   G                      D

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on,

                                                   A

                                                                 
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

         D                                              G                          D

And did I hear you say, he was a-meetin' you here today,

                                A                   G - D

to take you to his mansion in the sk...y?


                D                           C              G             D

2. She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby",

      \                                C               G               D

    all the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy,

                         G                                                           D

    'cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand,

                                 C          G                  D

    looking for a mysterious dark-haired man.
