Samson Regina Spektor
Capo 2nd fret
INTRO: A (let it ring)
[A] You a[Bm]re my [C#m]sweetest [D9]down-fall
[D] I l[E]oved you f[F#m]irst, [E]I loved you [D9]first
[D] Beneath the she[A]ets of pa[Bm]per lie[C#m]s my truth[D9] [D]
I [E]have to[F#m] go, I h[E]ave to go[D]
Your hair was long, [D9] when we first m[D]et[-] [D9]
[E]Sam - son[F#m] went back [A]to bed
[A]Not much hair left [D]on his head
He a[E]te a [F#m]slice of [A]wonder bread and went [A]right back t[E]o bed
And his[E]tory [F#m]books for-[A]got about us and the [A]bible didn't me[D]ntion us
And the bi[A]-ble d[E]idn't [F#m]mention us, not
[D9] ev[-]en[D] once

[A] You a[Bm]re my s[C#m]weetest d[D9]ownfall
[D] I l[E]oved you f[F#m]irst, I lov[E]ed you first[D9]
[D] Beneath the sta[A]rs came f[Bm]allin' [C#m]on our hea[D9]ds[D]
Bu[E]t they'[F#m]re just [E]old light, [D]they're just old light
Your hair was long w[D9]hen we first met[D] [-] [D9]
[E] Sam - s[F#m]on came to m[A]y bed
[A]Told me that my hai[D]r was red
[E]Told [F#m]me I was [A]beautiful and came int[A]o my bed[E]
[E]Oh I [F#m]cut his h[A]air my - self one nigh[A]t
A p[A]air of dull scissors in the ye[D]llow light
And he t[D]old me that I'd d[A]one alright
and kiss[A]ed me '[E]til th[F#m]e mornin' light, th[D]e mornin' light
and he kis[A]sed me [E]'til t[F#m]he mornin' light
[E]Sam - son[F#m] went back t[A]o bed
[A]not much hair left [D]on his head
[E]Ate a[F#m] slice of[A] wonderbread and went [A]right back t[E]o bed
[E]Oh, w[F#m]e couldn'[A]t bring the columns do[A]wn
Yea[A]h we couldn't destroy a single[D] one
And hist[D]ory books forgot [A]about us
And the [A]bible [E]didn't [F#m]mention us, not eve[D]n once....
[A] You a[Bm]re my [C#m]sweetest [D9]downfall
[D]I l[E]oved you [F#m] first
