INTRO: B (let it ring)

B      C#m     D#m      E9
  You are  my sweetest down-fall
E    F#         G#m        F#           E9
  I loved you first,      I loved you first
E                B        C#m     D#m       E9  E
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    F#      G#m     F#          E
  I have to go, I have to go
                      E9              E -  E9
  Your hair was long,  when we first met


  F#        G#m         B
  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     F#     G#m                         
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
E9 - E
 even once

  

B      C#m     D#m      E9
  You are my sweetest downfall
E    F#         G#m        F#           E9
  I loved you first, I loved you first
E                B        C#m     D#m       E9  E
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
    F#      G#m     F#          E
  But they're just old light, they're just old light
                      E9              E -  E9
  Your hair was long when we first met

  
F#        G#m         B

  F#    G#m      B                     B           
  Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
     B                             E
  B pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
          E                B
  And he told me that I'd done alright
          B      F#       G#m                E
  and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light
            B      F#       G#m
  and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light


 
  F#        G#m         B

  not much hair left on his head
  F#    G#m      B                     B           F#
  Bte a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
  F#    G#m      B                     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#       G#m                E
  And the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once....
