From: schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu (Adam Schneider) Subject: /t/tanya_tucker/delta_dawn.crd 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... - Adam Schneider, schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu
