  You are  my sweetest down-fall
E    F#sus2          G#m      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#      G#m     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#     G#m      B                     B           f#
  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
         f#    G#m       B                    B              E         
  And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
            B     A/F#     G#m                E         
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once

  You are my sweetest downfall
E    F#sus2          G#m      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#             G#m       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

  Sam - son came to my bed
  B                 E
  Told me that my hair was red
  f#     G#m      B            B           f#
  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
        f#      G#m       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#/A#       G#m                E
  and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light
            B      f#/A#       G#m
  and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light

  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
           f#       G#m        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#/A#     G#m                E         
  And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once....
