Della Janes Heart

D C Am Am Am

C                   F                   C
In her red sun dress with braids in her hair
    Dm                    F                    Am
She crawled out her window and ran to meet him there
          C               F              C
Where she gave up on youth and gave into desire
        Dm                F          Am
And the touch of his hands lit a wildfire

      C
And a sliver of light
G
Cuts through the dark
        F (hold)
And the moonlight shines
                Am
On Della Jane's heart

    C                        F                   C
The cold wind was blowing as she waited for his embrace
       Dm                   F                       Am
But it only got colder when she saw the look on his face
    C                        F                  C
His blindsiding words of his new love for Anna Lee
Dm                         F                      Am
Filled her with rage as he told her of their plans to leave

      C
And a sliver of light
G
Cuts through the dark
        F (hold)
And the moonlight shines
                Am
On Della Jane's heart

[Verse 3] (single strum each chord, light strumming at the end of each line)
        C                  F             C
Now the weight of her world was heavy as lead
        Dm             F                Am
But she drug it on down to the ol' riverbed
         C               F                  C
With her knees in the mud she looked up and prayed
       Dm                    F                 Am (back to original strum)
"Lord, please wash all of my sins and his body away"
            C                 Am
Wash it all away, wash it all away

      C
And a sliver of light
G
Cuts through the dark
        F (hold)
And the moonlight shines
                Am
On Della Jane's heart
                C                  Am
On Della Jane's heart, on Della Jane's heart
                C                  Am
On Della Jane's heart, on Della Jane's heart
