Subject: /t/tanya_tucker/delta_dawn.crd<br/> <br/> <br/> DELTA DAWN (Alex Harvey & Larry Collins)<br/> ----------------------------------------<br/> [I got this from some sheet music I had lying around; it's probably<br/> transcribed from the Helen Reddy version. I haven't heard either hers<br/> or Tanya Tucker's in years. I think, at least in Tucker's version, it<br/> modulates up a whole step for the end of the song. I'm not sure what<br/> key it really should be in; I put it in G because it's easy. (The music<br/> I had was in F, but F sucks.) I'm also not sure of the placement of<br/> verses, choruses, etc.]<br/> [Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen<br/> (e.g. "G - D" are a half-measure _total_.]<br/> <br/> G G C G<br/> Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on<br/> G G D D<br/> Could it be a faded rose from days gone by<br/> G G C G<br/> And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today<br/> G G - D C G<br/> To take you to his mansion in the sky<br/> <br/> G F G G<br/> She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"<br/> G F G G<br/> All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy<br/> C - E/B Am - D7 G G<br/> 'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand<br/> G F G G<br/> Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man<br/> <br/> In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn<br/> Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on<br/> Then a man of low degree stood by her side<br/> And promised her he'd take her for his bride<br/> <br/> Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on<br/> Could it be a faded rose from days gone by<br/> And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today<br/> To take you to his mansion in the sky<br/> <br/> etc...<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> - Adam Schneider, schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
