Capo 4th fret 
INTRO: G

G      Am     Bm      C
  You are  my sweetest down-fall
C    D         Em        D           C
  I loved you first,      I loved you first
C                G        Am     Bm       C
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    D      Em     D          C
  I have to go, I have to go
                      Cadd9              C -  Cadd9
  Your hair was long,  when we first met


  D        Em         G
  Sam - son  went back to bed
  G                  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 for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
            G     D     Em                         
  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not
Cadd9 - C
 even once

  

G      Am     Bm      Cadd9
  You are my sweetest downfall
C    D         Em        D           Cadd9
  I loved you first, I loved you first
C                G        Am     Bm       Cadd9  C
  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

  
  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
            G      D       Em            C      Cadd9
  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....

  
G      Am     Bm      Cadd9
  You are  my sweetest downfall
C    D            Em                  
I   loved  you    first

@jc - The original is in the key of B, and this one is tabbed in G w/ a capo on the 4th fret.
B chord = G chord w/ capo on 4
This tab is right. There are a few oddities here and there, but I think they're mostly just typos.
