Here's another version of Regina Spektor's Samson, I've used a capo to make the
chords a bit easier.
Any queries/feedback, leave a comment. Cheers!
Standard tuning, capo 4th fret
Here are the chords I used
320033 (OR 320003)
002210
032010 OR 032013 – sometimes it's audible on the track, but not important
Cadd9 032030 OR 032033
C? x32032 – I'm not sure what this chord is, but I think this is right
x00232 – sometimes Dadd9 is used as a sort of passing note
D/F# 200232 - sometimes it's audible on the track, but not important
022000 OR 022003 - sometimes it's audible on the track, but not important
You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

I have to go, I have to go
?
Your hair was long, when we first met
?
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

But they're just old light, they're just old light
?
Your hair was long when we first met
?
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
Samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
