 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?

 Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
                                             C  
 And women were your weakness, this I understand
               F                             A7  
 But after all the mighty armies you went through
               F               C               F F A7 
 How could you let a woman get the best of you?
                   F               C         F  A7 F 
 How could you let Delilah get the best of you?
