[Intro]
F Gm7
[Verse 1]
C F Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man C I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands F A7 And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire G C Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire?
[Verse 2]
F You faced an army of Philistines all alone C And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone? F A7 So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true F C F How could you let a woman get the best of you?
[Verse 3]
F I've heard it said you were the best of many men C That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge F A7 And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound G C And you completely tore one temple down
[Verse 4]
F How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace? F C You got the best of every man you ever faced F A7 And after all the mighty enemies you slew F C How could you let a women get the best of you?

[Verse 5]
C F You've battled many a man till he has turned and fled C Then turned around and let a woman turn your head F A7 You loved the best, of man, but you were bound to fall G C By the very thing that you loved best of all
[Chorus]
C F Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man F C And women were your weakness, this I understand F A7 But after all the mighty armies you went through F How could you let a woman get the best of you?
