[Verse]
A      Bm     C#m      D9
  You are  my sweetest down-fall
D    E         F#m        E           D9
  I loved you first,      I loved you first
D                A        Bm     C#m       D9  D
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    E      F#m     E          D
  I have to go, I have to go
                      D9              D -  D9
  Your hair was long,  when we first met
  E        F#m         A
  Sam - son  went back to bed
  A                  D
  Not much hair left on his head
      E    F#m      A                     A           E
  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
         E    F#m       A                    A              D         
  And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
            A     E     F#m                         
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
D9 - D
 even once
A      Bm     C#m      D9
  You are my sweetest downfall
D    E         F#m        E           D9
  I loved you first, I loved you first
D                A        Bm     C#m       D9  D
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
    E      F#m     E          D
  But they're just old light, they're just old light
                      D9              D -  D9
  Your hair was long when we first met
[Chorus]  
E        F#m         A
  Sam - son came to my bed
  A                  D
  Told me that my hair was red
  E    F#m      A                     A           E
  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
  E    F#m      A                     A           
  Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
     A                             D
  A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
          D                A
  And he told me that I'd done alright
          A      E       F#m                D
  and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light
            A      E       F#m
  and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light
[Verse] 
  E        F#m         A
  Sam - son went back to bed
  A                  D
  not much hair left on his head
  E    F#m      A                     A           E
  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
  E    F#m      A                     A           
  Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
     A                             D
  Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
          D                A
  And history books forgot about us
          A      E       F#m                D
  And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once....  
A      Bm     C#m      D9
  You are  my sweetest downfall
D    E         F#m                  
I   loved  you    first
