Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - Delia's Gone (correct) guitar chord

If you really want the sound, then play the bass notes in an alternating

patern, like in most of Johnny Cash's style songs. If you're unfamiliar, the

bass notes are the 5th note on the circle, a step down though, as follows:

A: E

D: A

B7: F

E: A/E alternate

you can figure it out, it's easier if you watch the video.

Finger picking is recommended.

A D A

Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life

D

If I hadn’t 'a 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

I went up to Memphis and I met Delia there

Found her in her parlor

And I tied her to her chair

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone

She was low down and triflin’, she was cold and mean

Kind of evil make me want to

Grab my submachine

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone

First time I shot her I shot her in the side

Hard to watch her suffer

But with the second shot she died

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone

But jailer, oh jailer, jailer I can’t sleep

Cause all around the bedside

I hear the patter of Delia’s feet

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone

So if your woman’s devilish you can let her run

Or you can bring her down and do her

Like Delia got done

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone

A D A E A

Delia’s gone, one more round, Delia’s gone
