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

    I've been playing guitar for a few years, but recently picked up a Uke because I wanted to learn how to sing and play at the same time and figured it might be a bit easier with a Uke than with a guitar. Your video has gotten me to the point where I can sing and play this at the same time. My first song where I can actually do this. You rock, thank you so much for this tutorial!

    This was a really good way for a beginner like me to play a song with picking . Most of the songs I've seen with picking there was no way I could even see what was going on.
    One of the other replies said you should have more subscribers and there right keep at it. Sooner or later people will pick up on your channel. Thanks for the video.

    Just started crying cause these lyrics make me imagine a world where the singer serenades their love with this song every night while working their life away in another country to give them the life they wanted. But the truth is that "Delilah" has passed away years ago and they're still clinging onto the life they wish they had.

    The way i do it is
    pluck 3rd string with thumb and then 2nd string with thumb again at the same time as 1st string with first finger
    it's more comfortable for me that way
    also I realised you can always change up the chords to make it easier for yourself. currently I'm struggling to switch enough quickly between C and Em
