Here's a basic outline (chords, riffs, lyrics) for the godly song we know as Delilah. I started a full powertab thing, with bass, piano, vocal line, etc. but I am simply too lazy to finish it. The song is in 6/4 with a triplet feel. Am Am/G D7/F# D/F# 1. Lady Delilah - she enslaves me F Ab Eb Db G I'm bound and chained by her lies Lies Cm Cm/Bb F/A One look in her eyes and she breaks me Ab G And I fall down like rain Ab G As the wind sings her name Chorus: Dm G Em A Ohhhhhohhhhhh Ohhhhhohhhhh F#m B Em A Ohhh Delilah Ohhhhhohhhh D C B I was the strongest man alive A# E A Bb/A (below x2) Till you came along - my Delilah E|-----5-5----5-5-|---6-6-x--------| B|-----5-5----5-5-|---6-6-x--------| G|-----6-6----6-6-|---7-7-x--------| D|----------------|----------------| A|--0-------0-----|-0--------------| E|----------------|---------0-3-6--| 2. She deceived me but believe me it was alright To touch her lips was to kiss the blades of her knives Why do things we know are wrong feel so right? Worth a lifetime of pain For one night to sing her name Oh, Delilah? I was the strongest man alive Till you came along - my Delilah SOLO: (too lazy to figure it out note-for-note... improvise :)) Am | Am/G | F#m7-5 |(F#m7-5)| F | Ab | Eb | Db G | Cm | Cm/Bb | Am7-5 |(Am7-5) | Ab | G | Ab | G | Ab G Well I'll never be the same Ab G Cause that girl - yeah, she's to blame Ab G How could I love again Ab G Since she took my heart away. (see below for this next part) And then someone said her name And I tore at my flesh to dull the pain of the sound And ripped from the chains and the walls came down And I lay covered and bound E And I called out her name?
