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
