Verse
[B]You [C#m]are my [B/D#]sweetest [Esus2][E]downfall
[E]I [F#sus2]loved [F#]you [G#m]first, I [F#]loved you [E]first
Beneath the [B]sheets of [C#m]paper [B/D#]lies my [E]truth
I [F#]have to[G#m] go, I [F#]have to [E]go
Your hair was [Esus2]long, when we first[E5] [Esus2]met
Chorus
[F#][G#m]Sam-son went [B]back to bed
[B]Not much hair left [E]on his head
He [F#]ate a [G#m]slice of [B]wonder bread and went right back to [F#]bed
And [F#]history [G#m]books [B]forgot about us and the bible didn't [E]mention us

[E]I [F#sus2]loved [F#]you [G#m]first, I [F#]loved you [E]first
Beneath the [B]stars came [C#m]fallin' [B/D#]on our [E]heads

Oh I [F#]cut his [G#m]hair my [B]self one night, a pair of dull scissors in the [E]yellow
light
And he [E]told me that I'd [B5]done alright
And he [Badd9]kissed me [F#/A#]'til the [G#m7]morning light, the [E]morning light

And [E]history books [B]forgot about us
And the [Badd9]bible [F#/A#]didn't [G#m7]mention us, not even [E6/9]once
[G#m/E] [F#/E] [B/E]
