Delia, oh, Delia

Delia all my life
D
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
B7 E
I'd-a had her for my wife
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
I went up to Memphis
A A7
And I met Delia there

Found her in her parlor
B7 E
And I tied to her chair
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

And she was cold and mean

Kind of evil make me want to
B7 E
Grab my sub machine
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

First time I shot her
A A7
I shot her in the side

Hard to watch her suffer

But with the second shot she died
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

Delia got done
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
