 beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
   D      Em     D          C
but they're just old light, they're just old light
                    Cadd9          C Cadd9
Your hair was long when we first met
  
chorus:  
D      Em         
Sam - son came to my bed
G                  C
Told me that my hair was red
D    Em                   G           D
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
D    Em                           G           
Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
   G                             C
a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
        C                G
and he told me that I'd done alright
        G      D       Em                C   
and kissed me 'til   the mornin' light, the mornin' light

and he kissed me 'til   the mornin' light
 
D        Em         G
Sam - son went back to bed
G                  C
not much hair left on his head
D    Em                           G           D
ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
D    Em      G                     G           
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
   G                             C
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
        C                G
and history books forgot about us
        G      D       Em                C    Cadd9
and the bible  didn't  mention us, not even once
