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_.]
G G C G
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
G G D D
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
G G C G
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
G G - D C G
To take you to his mansion in the sky
G F G G
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
G F G G
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
C - E/B Am - D7 G G
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
G F G G
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
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...
