[G] Thank you very much.
Well, I would just like to say that this is a fantastic feeling to be [E] up here tonight
for [Bb] the [E] Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
I was here 10 years ago [N] when we did the Golden Jubilee
and we were at the back of the palace then.
Tonight we're in the front.
So that's the way it goes.
Is everybody having a good time?
Well, that's the main thing.
Yeah.
We will.
We'll do it.
[Em] Okay!
[C] [B]
I
[Bm] [Em]
saw the light on the night
[E] that I [B] passed by her window.
[G] [B] [Em]
I saw the flickering shadows
of love on her [B] blind.
[G] [B] [E]
She was my [Am] woman.
[Em] As she deceived me,
[B] I watched and went out [Em]
[D] of [G] my mind.
[D] Till I,
[E]
[D] I
[G]
could see
[C] that girl was no good for [A] me.
[G] But I was lost like [D] a slave
[E] that no man could [G] free.
[A] [Bb]
[B]
[Em]
At break of day when that man drove away, [B] I was waiting.
[Em] I crossed the street to her house.
She [B] opened the door.
[E]
She stood [Am] there laughing.
[Em] I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no [Am] more.
[G] My, my, [D] Delilah.
Why, why, why, [G]
Delilah?
So, before [C] they come to break [Cm] down the door,
[G]
forgive me, Delilah, [D] I just couldn't take [G]
anymore.
[B] Yeah!
[Em]
[B] [Em]
[B]
[E]
She stood [Am] there laughing.
[Em]
I felt the knife [B] in my [Em] hand and she laughed no more.
[D] [G]
My, [D]
Delilah.
Why, [G]
why, why, Delilah?
So, before [C]
they come to break [Cm] down the door,
[G]
forgive me, Delilah, [D] I just couldn't take [G]
anymore.
[B] Let's do it again.
[Em]
[B]
[E]
[Bm] [G] [Am] [B]
[E]
She stood [Am] there laughing.
[Em] I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no [D] more.
[G]
My, my, [D]
Delilah.
Why, why, [G]
why, Delilah?
So, before [C] they come to break [Cm] down the door,
[G] forgive me, Delilah, [D] I just couldn't take [G]
anymore.
[Em] Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not take.
