Delia's Gone

A     A    D       A
Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life
      D                                      Bm                  E
If I hadn't shot poor Delia, Id' have her for my wife
           A       D            A        E        A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
-----------------------------  

A              D                 A              A7
First time I shot her, shot her in the side
D
Bm                    E
Hard to watch her suffer, so with the second shot she died
Continues after the ad
          A        D          A         E         A
Delia's gone one more round, Delia's gone

The guilty get a sentence, but I ain't gonna tell you mine
'Cause I got a brother in Memphis
Doin' life or 99
Delia's gone one more round, Delia's gone

You give me my hammer, I'll drag the ball and chain
With every rock I bust
I seem to ring out Delia's name
Delia's gone one more round, Delia's gone

Jailer oh, jailer, jailer I can't sleep
'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone one more round, Delia's gone

(Chorus)

          A        D          A         E         A
Delia's gone like a blue eyed dove, Delia's gone

Oh Delia
