Plain White T’s – Hey There Delilah


This video is a GuitarTutee Favorite!
Intro: D F#m D F#m

D F#m D F#m
Bm G A Bm A
Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

D Bm D Bm
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Interlude: D D/A

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

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

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

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history 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 ones for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me.

    well only the base note changes during chord switches, the other two strings played at the same time are always the g abd b strings, that’s why the guitarist doesn’t make the entire chords on the video, he only bothers with the strings he needs. You can tell which base string to play either by where another finger is pressed down on a base string, indicating it is that one he is plucking, or natural guesswork if the note is higher or lower than the previous base note.

  5. hahahaha! just like what i always say, it’s aready there! one word. L-I-S-T-E-N. and you’ll figure it out. why, it’s all spoonfed and all you need to do is chew it! 😛

    For those who didn’t catch the plucking pattern: For all chords, pluck the (D) string then the (G) and (B) strings together. Exceptions: (Bm) you pluck the (A) string first then the (G/B) strings. and (G) you pluck the low (E) string then the (G/B). there was a little walk-dopwn from (Bm) to (G) where you pluck 2nd fret (A) and then open (A) and go the the (G) chord and pluck the low (E) it sounds complicated a little but that’s only becasue it’s typed. just trying to help out. you should listen to the song to hear it.

    Thanks guys, great vido. Very helpful.

  15. dude pa’no ung plucking ???? awts
