[Gm] In the [Ebm] dawn, [Cm] what's that flower you [Bb] have on?
[Am] Could it be a faded rose from days [F] gone by?
[Bb] And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today

[Bb]
She's 41 [Ab] and her daddy still [Bb] calls her baby
All the folks [Ab] around Brownsville say [Bb] she's crazy
[Eb] While she walks [Dm] downtown [Cm] with a suitcase [F] in [Bb] her hand
Lookin' for [Ab] a mysterious dark [Bb]-haired man
In her younger days [Ab] they called her Delta [Bb] Dawn

From his story [Ab] taken for [Bb] his bride
