Subject: 

Delta Dawn
Written by: Alex Harvey, Larry Collins   Recorded by: Helen Reddy

chorus
F                      Bb              F
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on ?
                                        C
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by ?
    F                         Bb                 F
And did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
   F                C            Bb   F
to take you to his mansion in the sky.

verse 1
F                        Bb                   F
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her baby.
                      Eb                  F
All the folks around Brownville say she's crazy.
           Bb          D         Gm       C7     F
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
                Eb                   F
Lookin for a mysterious dark haired man.

verse 2

In her youger days they called her Delta Dawn.
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
Then a man of low degree stood by her side.
And promised her he'd take her for his bride.
