Samson In New Orleans

C
F      C
Am    F        C
G     G7       C

[Verse 1]
C
You said that you were with me, you 
said you were my friend
           F                       
Did you really love the city or did
 C
 you just pretend?
Am                        F      
You said you loved her secrets 
        C
and her freedoms hid away
          G             G7        
She was better than America, 
       C
that's what I heard you say

[Verse 2]
C
You said how could this happen, you 
said how can this be
     F                           
The remnant all dishonored on the 
  C
bridge of misery

Am                 F             
And we who cried for mercy from 
     C
the bottom of the pit
        G             G7          
Was our prayer so damn unworthy 
    C
the Son rejected it?

[Chorus]
E7          Am            
So gather up the killers, get 
F              C
everyone in town
E7              Am               
Stand me by those pillars, let me
F              C
 take this temple down
E7                  Am         F
The king so kind and solemn, he 
              C
wears a bloody crown
E7               Am              
So stand me by that column, let 
G              C
me take this temple down

F      C
Am    F        C

[Verse 3]
C
You said how could this happen, you 
said how can this be
          F                        
The chains are gone from heaven, 
   C
the storms are wild and free
Am                    F           
There's other ways to answer, that 
 C
certainly is true
         G               G7       
Me, I'm blind with death and anger
                C
 and that's no place for you

[Chorus]
E7                     Am   
There's a woman in the window, 
        F           C
there's a bed in tinsel town
E7                     Am        
I'll write you when it's over, 
        F           C
let me take this temple down
E7                     Am        
You said you loved her secrets, 
   F           C
her freedoms hid away
E7                     Am        
She was better than America, 
   G              C
that's what I heard you say
