Capo 2nd Fret

Sam - son went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
E F#m A A D

E F#m A A E
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
E F#m A
Oh I cut his hair my - self one night
A D
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
D A
And he told me that I'd done alright
A E/G# F#m D
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
A E/G# F#m D
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
A E/G# F#m
E F#m A
Sam - son went back to bed
A E
not much hair left on his head
E F#m A A E
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
E F#m A
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
A D
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
D A
And history books forgot about us

And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....
