Delta Dawn Chords by Tanya Tucker

[Start]

[Intro]
N.C.                                     
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
N.C.                                      
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by


[Chorus]
N.C.                                                 
And did I hear you say he was ameeting you here today
                                  Bb 
To take you to his mansion in the sky


[Verse]
                       Ab                    Bb  
She's fortyone and her daddy still calls her baby
                     Ab                    Bb   
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
           Eb    Dm              C               Bb  
'cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
              Ab                    Bb 
Looking for a mysterious darkhaired man
                         Ab               Bb  
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
                    Ab             Bb
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
       Eb     Dm  C                   Bb  
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
                  Ab               Bb   
Promised her he'd take her for his bride


[Chorus]
C7    C                F               C 
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
                                        G 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
        C                     F                 C    
And did I hear you say he was ameeting you here today
                                  F   C
To take you to his mansion in the sky ■
