Delia's Gone - Johnny Cash

--------------------



INTRO

A     A    D     A

Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life

      D                                 Bm            E

If I hadn't-a shot poor Delia, I'd have had her for my wife

          A    D        A     E       A         

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



VERSES

A             D            A             A7

I went up to Memphis, and I met Delia there

D                              Bm                E

Found her in her parlor, and I tied her to her chair

          A    D        A     E       A         

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



She was low-down and travellin', and she was cold and mean

Kind of evil make me want to grab my sub-machine

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



First time I shot her, I shot her in the side

Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died

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



But jailer, oh jailer, jailer I can't sleep

'Cuz all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet

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



So if your woman's devilish, you can let her run

Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done

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



         A     D        A      E          A E A

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