Title: Delilah Artist: Bumblefoot Here's a basic outline (chords, riffs, lyrics) for the godly song we know as Delilah. I started a full powertab thing, with bass, piano, vocal line, etc. but I am simply too lazy to finish it. Lyrics from www.bumblefoot.com. Chord suggestions at the bottom. The song is in 6/4 with a triplet feel.
1. AmLady DAm/Gelilah - she D7/F#enslaves me D/F# FI'm bound and Abchained by her Eblies Db LieGs
CmOne look in her Cm/Bbeyes and she F/Abreaks me And I Abfall down like Grain

She deceived me but believe me it was alright To touch her lips was to kiss the blades of her knives Why do things we know are wrong feel so right? Worth a lifetime of pain For one night to sing her name Oh, Delilah… I was the strongest man alive Till you came along - my Delilah SOLO: (too lazy to figure it out note-for-note... improvise :)) Am | Am/G | F#m7-5 |(F#m7-5)| F | Ab | Eb | Db G | Cm | Cm/Bb | Am7-5 |(Am7-5) | Ab | G | Ab | G |
Well I'll Abnever be the Gsame Cause thatAb girl - yeah, she's to Gblame
How could AbI love aGgain Since she Abtook my heart Gaway.
(see below for this next part) And then someone said her name And I tore at my flesh to dull the pain of the sound And ripped from the chains and the walls came down And I lay covered and bound
And I called out her nEame… E|-------------------|---------------------------------| B|-------------------|---------------------------------| G|-------------------|---------------------------------| D|-------------------|--------------------9------------| A|-------------------|---------------5-8----7--5-------| E|--5--5--5-8--7--5--|--4--0-4--8p7--------------7--4--|
