  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

  But they're just old light, they're just old light
                      F               F -  F
  Your hair was long when we first met

  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:

F    G         Am
I   loved  you    first
