Hey there Delilah, What's it like in New York City?

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,

Close your eyes, Listen to my voice it's my disguise,

I'm by your side.

My word is good.
D D F#m F#m
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.

Bridge
G G A A
A A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they've got planes and trains and cars,
D D Bm Bm
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
G G A A
Our friends would all make fun of us, And we'll just laugh along because,
D D Bm Bm
We know that none of them have felt this way,
G G A A
Delilah I can promise you, That by the time that we get through,
Bm Bm A A
The world will never ever be the same, And you're to blame.

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.

I like:
d D x UD
Sorry about the weird notation... the small d means to strum lightly just the first 2 or three strings then the x is a little pause like quarter then the UD are quick like eighths.

loved this tab, if you make it more accurate to the actual song you could pluck 2(c) string and then pluck 3rd(e) string and 4th(a) string at the same time for over 4 times each cord
