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 
          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
