Johnny
Cash
A
(hold) D (hold)
Delia,
oh, Delia
A (hold)
Delia
all my life
D
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
B7 E
I'd-a
had her for my wife
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
I went up to Memphis
A A7
And I met Delia there
D
Found
her in her parlor
B7 E
And I tied to her chair
A D A
E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
She was low down and trifling
A A7
And she was cold and mean
D
Kind of evil make me want to
B7 E
Grab
my sub machine
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
First time I shot her
A A7
I
shot her in the side
D
Hard to watch her suffer
B7 E
But with the second shot she died
A D A E A
Delia's
gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
But jailer, oh, jailer
A A7
Jailer,
I can't sleep
D
'Cause
all around my bedside
B7 E
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D
So if you woman's devilish
A A7
You can let her run
D
Or you can bring her down and do her like
B7 E
Delia
got done
A D A E
A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D A E A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
