SAMSON Holy Bible Old Testament album chords by The Statler Brothers Guitar Chords
[Intro]
G Am7

[Verse 1]
D G
Oh, Samson, it’s been said you were a mighty man
D
I’ve heard it said you killed a lion with your hands
G B7
And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire
A D
Ain’t you the man who set their fields on fire?

[Verse 2]
G
You faced an army of Philistines all alone
D
And didn’t you tear at their flesh with just a bone?
G B7
So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true
G D G
How could you let a woman get the best of you?

[Verse 3]
G
I’ve heard it said you were the best of many men
D
That you could tear a city gate right off it’s hinge
G B7
And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound
A D
And you completely tore one temple down

[Verse 4]
G
How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace?
G D
You got the best of every man you ever faced
G B7
And after all the mighty enemies you slew
G D
How could you let a women get the best of you?

[Interlude]
G G G G Am7

[Verse 5]
D G
You’ve battled many a man till he has turned and fled
D
Then turned around and let a woman turn your head
G B7
You loved the best, of man, but you were bound to fall
A D
By the very thing that you loved best of all

[Chorus]
D G
Oh, Samson, it’s been said you were a mighty man
G D
And women were your weakness, this I understand
G B7
But after all the mighty armies you went through
G
How could you let a woman get the best of you?

[Chorus]
G
Oh, Samson, it’s been said you were a mighty man
D
And women were your weakness, this I understand
G B7
But after all the mighty armies you went through
G D G G B7
How could you let a woman get the best of you?
G D G B7 G
How could you let Delilah get the best of you?
