Verse 1

[C] [D7] [F7]

Woman of the country now I've found you

[C] [G7] [C]*

Longing in your soft and fertile delta

[C] [C/B] [C/Bb] [Fsus2]

And I whisper sighs to satisfy your longing

[C] [G7] [C]*

For the warmth and tender shelter of my body

Chorus

[Bb/C] [F] [C]*

Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

[Bb/C] [F] [C] [E] [F] [F#] [G]

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady

Verse 2

[C] [D7] [F7]

Please don't ask how many times I found you

[C] [G7] [C]*

Standing wet and naked in the garden

[C] [C/B] [C/Bb] [Fsus2]

And I think of days and diff'rent ways I held you

[C] [G7] [C]

Held you closely to me, yes our heart was beating

Chorus

[Bb/C] [F] [C]*

Oh you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

Yes, you're my, me oh my, Delta Lady

Because I love you

[C] [E] [F] [F#] [G] [Cmmaj11]

Verse 3

[C] [D7] [F7]

There are concrete mountains in the ci--ty

[C] [G7] [C]*

And pretty city women live inside them

[C] [C/B] [C/Bb] [Fsus2]

And yet it seems the city scene is lacking

[C] [G7] [C]

I'm so glad you're waiting for me in the country

Oh, you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

And you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

[Bb/C] [F] [C]*

Yeah, you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady

[Bb/C] [F] [C]*

And you're my, yes you're my Delta Lady
