[Verse]
                         D                E   
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
                    D                  B  E
Prettiest woman you ever had laid eyes on ■
      A                              E    Abm
But a man of low degree stood by her side ■  
E                D                E                
Promised her hed take her for his bride but he lied


[Chorus]
                      A               E 
Delta Dawn whats that flower you have on
                                      B 
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by
E                         A               E    
Did I hear you say he was meetin you here today
                                  A   E D
To take you to his mansion in the sky ■ ■


[Verse]
E                       D                     B    E
■ Shes fortyone and her daddy still calls her baby ■
                     D                    E    
All the folks around Brownsville say shes crazy
          A                                     E   
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
              D                      E  
Looking for a mysterious dark haired man


[Chorus]
                      A               E 
Delta Dawn whats that flower you have on
                                      B  B7
Could it be a faded rose of days gone by ■ 
E              Abm        A               E    
Did I hear you say he was meetin you here today
                                  A   E
To take you to his mansion in the sky ■

E                                              
Did I hear you say he was meetin you here today
