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#

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

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
