Samson Ukulele by Regina Spektor

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

the chords are different to the original but i like singing along to this version :)

Intro: C

Verse:
C   Dm   Em   F
 You are my sweetest down-fall
F  G     Am    G      F
 I loved you first,   I loved you first
F        C    Dm   Em    F  F
 Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
  G   Am   G     F
 I have to go, I have to go
           F        F - F
 Your hair was long, when we first met

Chorus:
 G    Am     C
 Sam - son went back to bed
 C         F
 Not much hair left on his head
   G  Am   C           C      G
 He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
     G  Am    C          C       F
 And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
      C   G   Am
 And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
F - F
 even once

Verse:
C   Dm   Em   F
 You are my sweetest downfall
F  G     Am    G      F
 I loved you first, I loved you first
F        C    Dm   Em    F  F
 Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
  G   Am   G     F
 But they're just old light, they're just old light
           F        F - F
 Your hair was long when we first met

Chorus:
G    Am     C
 Sam - son came to my bed
 C         F
 Told me that my hair was red
 G  Am   C           C      G
 Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
 G  Am   C           C
 Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
   C               F
 A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
     F        C
 And he told me that I'd done alright
     C   G    Am        F
 and kissed me 'til  the mornin' light, the mornin' light
      C   G    Am
 and he kissed me 'til  the mornin' light

Outro:
 G    Am     C
 Sam - son went back to bed
 C         F
 not much hair left on his head
 G  Am   C           C      G
 Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
 G  Am   C           C
 Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
   C               F
 Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
     F        C
 And history books forgot about us
     C   G    Am        F
 And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....

Chorus:
C   Dm   Em   F
 You are my sweetest downfall
F  G     Am
I  loved you  first
