Hey There Delilah
Hey there Delilah,
What’s it like in New York City
I’m a thousand miles away,
But girl tonight you look so pretty,
Yes you do,
Time Square can’t shine as bright as you,
I swear it’s true.
Hey there Delilah,
Don’t you worry about the distance,
I’m right there if you get lonely,
Give this song another listen,
Close your eyes,
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise,
I’m by your side.
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it's what you do to me,
What you do to me.
Hey there Delilah,
I know times are getting hard,
But just believe me girl some day,
I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
We'll have it good,
We'll have the life we knew we would,
My word is good.
Hey there Delilah,
I’ve got so much left to say,
If every simple song I wrote to you,
Would take your breath away,
I’d write it all,
Even more in love with me you’d fall,
We’d have it all.
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it's what you do to me,
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars,
I’d walk to you if I had no other way,
Our friends would all make fun of us,
And we'll just laugh along because,
We know that none of them have felt this way,
Delilah I can promise you,
That by the time that we get through,
The world will never ever be the same,
And you’re to blame.
Hey there Delilah you be good, and don’t you miss me,
Two more years and you’ll be done with school,
And I'll be making history,
Like I do,
You’ll know it's all because of you,
We can do whatever we want to,
Hey there Delilah here's to you,
This one’s for you.
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it’s what you do to me,
Oh it's what you do to me,
What you do to me.
Whoooo-oh-oh-oh-oh ( repeat )

I used the G cord in place of the E minor when I first learned the song and it worked really well so I would recommend that for beginners or if you are learning the song for the first time :)

I'd suggest using like a very simple and kinda slow strumming pattern. I don't have a fixed one yet, but most slow and simple ones work greay

a good way to play it it's instead of strumming, fingerpicking the g string with the thumb and then the other 3 at the same time, and repeating that 4 times for most of the chords (except in these parts
Am G
Yes you do
F G Am
Time Square can # 17 t shine as bright as you) where you repeat that less times
Am G
Yes you do
F G Am
Time Square can # 17 t shine as bright as you) where you repeat that less times

Use a capo on the 2nd fret to play along the song, sounds wonderful either way!
