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
Cadd9
Here are the chords I used
G 320033 (OR 320003)
Am 002210
C 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
D x00232 – sometimes Dadd9 is used as a sort of passing note
D/F# 200232 - sometimes it's audible on the track, but not important
Em 022000 OR 022003 - sometimes it's audible on the track, but not important
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G Am G Cadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
(C) D Em D C
I loved you first, I loved you first
G Am G Cadd9
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
(C) D Em D C
I have to go, I have to go
C? C
Your hair was long, when we first met
C?
[Chorus]
D Em G
Samson went back to bed
C
Not much hair left on his head
D Em G D
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
D Em G C
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
G D/F# Em C
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
[Verse]
G Am G Cadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
(C) D Em D C
I loved you first, I loved you first
G Am G Cadd9
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
(C) D Em D C
But they're just old light, they're just old light
C? C
Your hair was long when we first met
C?
[Chorus]
D Em G
Samson came to my bed
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 myself one night
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
G D Em C
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
G D Em
D Em G
Samson went back to bed
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
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
C
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
G
And history books forgot about us
G D/F# Em C
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....
D G D C (the first D chord is more of a passing note)
[Outro]
G Am G Cadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
(C) D Em
I loved you first
