I haven't heard either hers or Tanya Tucker's in years. I think, at least in Tucker's version, it modulates up a whole step for the end of the song. I'm not sure what key it really should be in; I put it in G because it's easy. (The music I had was in F, but F sucks.) I'm also not sure of the placement of verses, choruses, etc.] [Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen (E.G. "G - D" are A half-measure _total_.]

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

    G               G           C                   G
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today

   G               G   -   D      C      G
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"

G                    F                     G     G
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy

'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand

Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger 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 Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on Could it be a faded rose from days gone by And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky etc... - Adam Schneider, [email protected]
