INTRO: B E D..E..B E D..E


#1.
E                        D                E
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
E                   D              E
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
      A                              E
But a man of low degree stood by her side.
E                 D                E
Promised her he'd take her for his bride.


CHORUS:
E                      A               E
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E                                       B
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E                         A
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here 
E                                        B  E
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?


#2.
E                       D                      E
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her, baby.
E                    D                     E
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy.
          A                                     E
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
E             D                      E
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man.


CHORUS:
E                      A               E
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E                         A
