Played the same as the regular song, with different words...
Thus, it's a "spoof"
[Intro]
D  F#m
[Verse 1]
DHey there Delilah, this is yF#mour ex-boyfriend Sampson,
And I kDnow you thought that lifting weights, made F#mme so buff and handsome,
                    Bm                        G        A               Bm  A*           
You were wrong, it's 'cuz I let my hair grow long, it makes me strong,
DHey there Delilah, you came F#min while I was sleeping,
And I dDidn't feel you cutting and I F#mdidn't hear you creeping
             Bm             G                    A                 Bm  A*
out the door, You left my hair piled on the floor, while I just snored
[Chorus]
DOh, it's what you did to Bmme, Oh, Dwhile I was aslBmeep,
DOh, I'm a NazarBmene, Oh, Dbut you shaved me cBmlean,
Delilah you're so mDean
[Bridge]
GKilled a lion, big and mean, and slauAghtered many Philistines, 
All wDith a donkey's jaw bone, that's no lBmie,
GBut now I'm chained up to a wall, and I Acan't cry no tears at all,
BecauDse the came and gouged out both my eBmyes...
WGhy'd you grab those clippin' shears, and sAhave my head like Britney Spears,
'Cuz nDow I'm standing hear in total shBmame, Delilah, you're to bDlame
[Verse 3]
HDey there Delilah, why did yF#mou have to deceive me? 
It's so haDrd for me to think, not long aF#mgo I wanted you to be my bBmride,
GBut you took tAoo much off the sidesBm, 
Ghey there DeliAlah when you diBme,
GJust tell the Adevil, I said "Bmhi", 
           A*
He'll know why
[Chorus 2]
