Delta Dawn

[Verso 1]
 
        D 
She was forty-one 
        C                    D 
And her daddy still calls her baby 
D                  C                    D 
All the folks round Brownsville say she's crazy 
          G 
Cause she walks downtown 
         Em       A      D 
With her suitcase in her hand 
D               C                  D 
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man 
 


[Verso 2]
 
       D 
In her younger days 
     C               D 
They called her Delta Dawn 
D              C                 D 
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on 
       G 
Then a man of low degree 
Em    A      D 
Stood by her side 
D                C               D 
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
