 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/>
