DELTA DAWN (Alex Harvey & Larry Collins)

----------------------------------------

Here is a copy of Delta Dawn in D. 
It should be Capo up to the third fret to make the F you referred to. 
I just play it in D and it works for me.


D                        G               D

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on

                                        A

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

    D                           G                   D

And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today

                    A              G  D

To take you to his mansion in the sky



      D                 G                       D     

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"

                      C                     D     

All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy

           G             B/F#         Em     A7      D

'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand

              C                      D

Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man



D                        C                D

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

                    C              D

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

      G       B/F#   Em        A7      D

Then a man of low degree stood by her side

                      C                 D

And promised her he'd take her for his bride



Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today

To take you to his mansion in the sky
