Samson Chords

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
G      Am     G          C
  You are my sweetest downfall
C    D          Em      D          C
  I loved you first, I loved you first
   C           G       Am    G       C
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
  D        Em   D         C
I have to go, I have to go
              C    *
Your hair was long, when we first met
 
[Chorus]
D  Em       G
Samson 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 forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
        G     D         Em                C
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
 
[Verse]
G      Am     G        C
  You are my sweetest downfall
C   D           Em      D         C
  I loved you first, I loved you first
C               G         Am      G      C
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
            D          Em           D          C
But they're just old light, they're just old light
              C    *
Your hair was long when we first met
 
[Chorus]
D  Em       G
Samson 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 myself 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
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
 
[Instrumental]
G  D     Em
 
[Chorus]
D  Em       G
Samson 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
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
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
 
[Outro]
G      Am    G        C
  You are my sweetest downfall
C   D           Em
I  loved   you  first
