[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C D7 F7
Woman of the country now I've found you

For the warmth and tender shelter of my body

Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Bb/C F C E F F# G
Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady
[Verse 2]
C D7 F7
Please don't ask how many times I found you
C G7 C*
Standing wet and naked in the garden
C C/B C/Bb Fsus2
And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you

Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating

Because I love you

[Verse 3]
C D7 F7
There are concrete mountains in the ci--ty
C G7 C*
And pretty city women live inside them
C C/B C/Bb Fsus2
And yet it seems the city scene is lacking
C G7 C
I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country
[Outro]
Bb/C F C*
Oh, you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Bb/C F C*
Said, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady
Bb/C F C*
And you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Bb/C F C*
Yeah, you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
Bb/C F C*
And you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

Thanks for the tab! The only correction I can make is that you kept writing "your" instead of "you're" but the chords are great ;) Thanks!
