B5       C#5     B5      E5 
  You are  my sweetest down-fall 
E5    F#5          G#5      F#5           E5 
  I loved you first,      I loved you first 
                B5         C#5     B5        E5 
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth 
    F#5      G#5     F#5          E5 
  I have to go, I have to go 
                   E5              E5 
  Your hair was long,  when we first met 
 
 
  E5 
    
   F#5  G#5         B5 
  Sam - son  went back to bed 
  B5                  E5 
  Not much hair left on his head 
      F#5     G#5      B5                     B5           F#5 
  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed 
         F#5    G#5       B5                    B5              E5          
  And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us 
            B5     A5     G#5                E5          
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once 
 
   
  B5       C#5     B5      E5 
  You are my sweetest downfall 
E5    F#5          G#5      F#5           E5 
  I loved you first, I loved you first 
                B5         C#5     B5        E5 
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads 
E5       F#5             G#5       F#5             E5         
  But they're just old light, they're just old light 
                   E5              E5 
  Your hair was long when we first met 
 

    F#5  G#5         B5 
  Sam - son came to my bed 
  B5                 E5 
  Told me that my hair was red 
  F#5     G#5      B5            B5           F#5 
  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed 
        F#5      G#5       B5                  
  Oh I cut his hair my - self one night 
     B5                             E5 
  A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light 
          E5                B5 
  And he told me that I'd done alright 
          B5      F#5       G#5                E5 
  and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light 
            B5      F#5       G#5 
  and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light 
 
 
B5      F#5       G#5 
 
   F#5  G#5         B5 
  Sam - son went back to bed 
  B5                  E5 
  not much hair left on his head 
   F#5     G#5      B5                     B5           F#5 
  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed 
           F#5       G#5        B5 
  Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down 
                     B5         E5 
  Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one 
        E5                        B5 
  And history books forgot about us 
            B5     F#5     G#5                E5          
  And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once.... 
 
   
B5       C#5      B5     E5    E5 
  You are  my sweetest downfall 
      F#5     F#5    G#5 
  I   loved  you    first
