  You are  my sweetest down-fall
C    D         Em        D           C
  I loved you first,      I loved you first
C                G        Am     Bm       C
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
  D      Em     D          C
I have to go, I have to go

Your hair was long,  when we first met
  
Chorus  
D        Em         G
Sam - son  went back to bed
G                  C
Not much hair left on his head
    D    Em                           G           D
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
       D    Em                           G              C         
And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
          G     D     Em                         
And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
Cadd9   C
even once

  I loved you first, I loved you first
C                G        Am     Bm       Cadd9  C
 Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
   D      Em     D          C
But they're just old light, they're just old light
                    Cadd9              C   Cadd9
Your hair was long when we first met
  
Chorus  
D      Em         
Sam - son came to my bed
G                  C
Told me that my hair was red
D    Em                   G           D
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
D    Em                           G           
Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
   G                             C
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
        C                G
And he told me that I'd done alright
        G      D       Em                C   
and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light
          G      D       Em            C      Cadd9
and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light
 
D        Em         G
Sam - son went back to bed
G                  C
not much hair left on his head
D    Em                           G           D
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
D    Em      G                     G           
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
   G                             C
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
        C                G
And history books forgot about us
        G      D       Em                C    Cadd9
And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once
