Delilah
Tom: Am

   Am                                                  E       - E7
1. I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window,
    Am                                              E   - E7
    I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind.
     A   A7     Dm
    She was my woman, 
     Am                     E                         Am   - G7
    as she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind.
     C             G                G7     C
    My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah.
             C7         F                   Dm
    I could see,  that girl was no good for me,
        C                   G                       C  - E
    but I was lost like a slave that no one could free.
    Am                                               E     - E7
2. At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
    Am                                                      E - E7
    I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door.
     A    A7         Dm
    She stood there laughing.
    Am                        E        \               Am   - G7
    I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more.
     C             G               G7      C
    My, my, my, Delilah. Why, why, why, Delilah.
          C7          F                      Dm
    So before,  they came to break down the door,
        C                   G                      C 
    forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.
        Am                    E                     Am    - Dm - Am 
    forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more.

    then you and I would simply fly away

 

Its Not Unusual
Tom: C

1.                   It's not unusual to be loved by anyone,
C                            Dm
    it's not unusual to have fun with anyone,
Em                               Dm
    but when I see you hanging about with anyone,
G                     C                Dm         - G
    it's not unusual to see me cry and I wanna die.
    C                          Dm           - G
2.     It's not unusual to go out at any time,
C                               Dm
    but when I see you out and about, it's such a crime.
Em                                  Dm
    If you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
G                         C                     Dm
    it's not unusual, it happens every day, no matter what you say, 
G                                   C
    you'll find it happens all the time.
                         Dm
    Love will never do, what you want it to,
G                                Dm-G         C - Dm - C - Dm
    why can't this crazy love be mi...ne ?
   C                       Dm           - G
3.    It's not unusual to be mad with anyone,
C                          Dm
    it's not unusual to be sad with anyone,
Em                                   Dm
    but if I ever find that you've changed at any time,
G                        C               Dm
    it's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you,
           C          Dm          C    Dm                   
    whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

           D           C                      D        - C
    don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't wanna see.
      D              C    G - A        D              C     - G - A
Mama told me not to come,        mama told me not to come,
            D                 C           G    A   
she said :     That ain't no way to have fun, son!
    - D ~  D           C                D             C
2.        Open up the window, let some air into this room,
D                C                        D                C
    I think I'm almost choking from the smell of stale perfume.
             D                 C                   D               C

D                C              D         C

3. The radio was blasting, someone knocking at the door,
         D             C                    D                  C
    I'm looking at my girlfriend, she just passed out on the floor.
         D             C             D            C
   I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before,
            D           C                D            C
    don't know what it is,  but I don't wanna see no more.

Thunderball
Tom: Am
 
    
   Am        Dm                Am
1. He always runs while others walk,
        Bb        E              Am
    he acts while other men just talk.
        Dm             E                  Am
    He looks at this world, and wants it all
           Dm            B7    E
    so he strikes, like Thunderball.
    Am            Dm            Am
2. He knows the meaning of success,
         Bb       E                 Am
    his needs are more, so he gives less.
          Dm            E               Am
    They call him the winner who takes all,
             Dm            E    Am
    and he strikes, like Thunderball.
     Dm   Bb                   Am
    Any woman he wants, he'll get,
             Bb      E                Am   - E
    he will break any heart without regret.
    Am           Dm             Am
3. His days of asking are all gone,
         Bb        E            Am
    his fight goes on and on and on.
            Dm              E                Am
    But he thinks that the fight is worth it all,
           Dm           E    Am   - d - E  
    so he strikes like Thunderball.
