Am E7
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Am E7
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman
Am E7 Am G7
As she deceived me I watched, and went out of my mind
C G
My, my, my, Delilah
G B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C C7 F Dm
I could see that girl was no good for me
C G C E7
But I was lost like a slave that no one could free
Am E7
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Am E7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
A A7 Dm
She stood there laughing
Am E7 Am G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more
C G
My, my, my, Delilah
G B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C C7 F Dm
So before they come to break down the door
C G C E7
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more

| I don't even know if Delilah was cheating on him.. he says "she *was* my woman"... maybe she dumped him, and he couldn't handle it. Or maybe he was just fantasizing about her, and they were never together at all. Since he apparently lives across the street from her, he might just be obsessed with the girl across the street, and eventually killed her... I don't really know.. theprynce's interpretation makes as much sense as mine does, this is just another option. | |

| GREAT song about infidelity and murder. He spied on her when he was suspicious of her cheating and he caught her and kept watching but when he left the next morning he went to the door and when she opened it, she laughed (maybe because he confronted her with what he saw?) and he stabbed her. Hence the lines, "She stood there laughing... I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more". So... yeah. He killed her. Either that or he just scared her or kidnapped her. Either way it was something criminal, otherwise, they'd have no need to come to break down the door. -=The Prynce | |
