 B       C#m     B/D#      Esus2
  You are  my sweetest down-fall
E    F#sus2          Abm      F#           E
  I loved you first,      I loved you first
                B         C#m     B/D#        E
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    F#      Abm     F#          E
  I have to go, I have to go
                   Esus2/B              E/B
  Your hair was long,  when we first met

  Sam - son  went back to bed
  B                  E
  Not much hair left on his head
      F#     Abm      B                     B           F#
  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
         F#    Abm       B                    B              E         
  And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
            B     A/F#     Abm                E         
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once

  

  B       C#m     B/D#      Esus2
  You are my sweetest downfall
E    F#sus2          Abm      F#           E
  I loved you first, I loved you first
                B         C#m     B/D#        E
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
E       F#             Abm       F#             E        
  But they're just old light, they're just old light
                   Esus2/B              E/B
  Your hair was long when we first met

    F#  Abm         B
  Sam - son came to my bed
  B                 E
  Told me that my hair was red
  F#     Abm      B            B           F#
  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
        F#      Abm       B                 
  Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
     B                             E
  A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
          E                B
  And he told me that I'd done alright
          B      F#/Bb       Abm                E
  and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light
            B      F#/Bb       Abm
  and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light


B      F#/Bb       Abm

   
   F#  Abm         B
  Sam - son went back to bed
  B                  E
  not much hair left on his head
   F#     Abm      B                     B           F#
  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
           F#       Abm        B
  Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
                     B         E
  Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
        E                        B
  And history books forgot about us
            B     F#/Bb     Abm                E         
  And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once....
