Delta Dawn Chords by Tanya Tucker

[Start]

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


[Verse]
Bb                 Ab                        Bb  
She's fortyone and her daddy still calls her baby
                     Ab                    Bb   
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
           Eb         Bb          Cm7             Bb  
'cause she walks down town 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         C                   Bb  
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
                         Ab               Bb    C
And he promised her he'd take her for his bride ■


[Chorus]
                       F               C 
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on
                                        G 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
C                  Em         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 ■

N.C.                                      
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
N.C.                                                 
And did I hear you say he was ameeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky ■

And did I hear you say he was ameeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky ■

And did I hear you say he was ameeting you here today

To take you to his ■ ■
