Capo 4th fret
INTRO: G
[G] You a[Am]re my [Bm]sweetest[C] down-fall
[C] I l[D]oved you f[Em]irst, [D] I loved you[C] first
[C] Beneath the she[G]ets of pa[Am]per lie[Bm]s my trut[C]h
I [D]have to[Em] go, I [D]have to go[C]
Your hair was long, [Cadd9] when we first met[C] [-] [Cadd9]
[D]Sam - son[Em] went back[G] to bed
[G]Not much hair left [C]on his head
He a[D]te a [Em]slice of wonder bread and wen[G]t right back[D] to bed
And his[D]tory [Em]books for-got about us and th[G]e bible didn't [C]mention us
And the bi[G]-ble d[D]idn't [Em]mention us, not
[Cadd9] even [-]on[C]ce
[G] You a[Am]re my s[Bm]weetest [Cadd9]downfall
[C] I l[D]oved you f[Em]irst, I lo[D]ved you firs[Cadd9]t
[C] Beneath the sta[G]rs came f[Am]allin' [Bm]on our he[Cadd9]ads[C]
Bu[D]t they'[Em]re just[D] old light,[C] they're just old light
Your hair was long w[Cadd9]hen we first met[C] [-] [Cadd9]
[D]Sam - s[Em]on came to my bed
[G]Told me that my hai[C]r was red
[D]Told [Em]me I was beautiful an[G]d came into [D]my bed
[D]Oh I [Em]cut his hair my - self one ni[G]ght
A p[G]air of dull scissors in the ye[C]llow light
And he t[C]old me that I'd d[G]one alright
and kiss[G]ed me '[D]til th[Em]e mornin' light, t[C]he mornin' light
and he kis[G]sed me [D]'til t[Em]he mornin' lig[C]ht[Cadd9]
[D]Sam - son[Em] went back [G]to bed
[G]not much hair left [C]on his head
[D]Ate a[Em] slice of wonderbread and wen[G]t right back[D] to bed
[D]Oh, w[Em]e couldn[G]'t bring the columns d[G]own
Yea[G]h we couldn't destroy a single[C] one
And hist[C]ory books forgot [G]about us
And the [G]bible [D]didn't [Em]mention us, not ev[C]en on[Cadd9]ce....
[G] You a[Am]re my [Bm]sweetest[Cadd9] downfall
[C]I l[D]oved you [Em]first
