Chorus
C                       F               C 
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? 
C             F     C                   G 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 
    C                         F                  C 
And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today 
C                  G              F   C 
to take you to his mansion in the sky-y? 
 
Verse 1
C                       F                     C 
She's forty-one and her Daddy still calls her baby 
C                    F                     C 
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 
C        F                       G               C 
When she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand 
C             F                      C 
looking for a mysterious dark haired man 
 
Verse 2
C                        F                C 
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 
C               F                  C 
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on 
C      F            G                 C 
Then a man of law degree stood by her side 
C                 F                C 
promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? 
D             G     D                   A 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? 
    D                         G                  D

to take you to his mansion in the sky-y?
