#1.
E MajorE            D MajorD        E MajorE
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
E MajorE          D MajorD       E MajorE
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
But a man of low degree stood by her side.
E MajorE         D MajorD        E MajorE
Promised her he'd take her for his bride.

CHORUS:
E MajorE           A augmentedA        E MajorE
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E MajorE                    BB
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E MajorE                    BB E MajorE
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?


#2.
E MajorE            D MajorD           E MajorE
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her, baby.
E MajorE          D MajorD           E MajorE
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy.
     A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
E MajorE       D MajorD           E MajorE
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man.


CHORUS:
E MajorE           A augmentedA        E MajorE
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E MajorE                    BB
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E MajorE                    BB E MajorE
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?

CHORUS:
E MajorE           A augmentedA        E MajorE
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E MajorE                    BB
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E MajorE                    A augmentedA E MajorE
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
