DELTA DAWN (Alex Harvey & Larry Collins)
----------------------------------------
[I got this from some sheet music I had lying around; it's probably
transcribed from the Helen Reddy version. I haven't heard either hers
or Tanya Tucker's in years. I think, at least in Tucker's version, it
modulates up a whole step for the end of the song. I'm not sure what
key it really should be in; I put it in G because it's easy. (The music
I had was in F, but F sucks.) I'm also not sure of the placement of
verses, choruses, etc.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen
(E.G. "G - D" are A half-measure _total_.]
GDelta GDawn, what's that Cflower you have oGn
Could it bGe a faded rGose from days gone Dby D
And Gdid I hear you sGay he was a-Cmeeting you here todGay
G G - D C G
To take you to his mansion in the sky
She's Gforty-one and her Fdaddy still calls her &qGuot;bGaby"
GAll the folks around FBrownsville say she's Gcrazy G
C - E/B Am - D7 G G
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
GLooking for a Fmysterious dark-haired Gman G
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
etc...
