Sam Stone Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Sam DStone came home,

 to his Gwife and family,

 after Aserving in the conflict overDseas.

And the time that he served,

 had Gshattered all his nerves,

 and Aleft a little shrapnel in his Dknee.

 But the Gmorphine eased the pain,

and the grass grew round his brain,

 and E7gave him all the confidence he Alacked;

 with a EPurple Heart and a E7monkey on his Aback.

 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,

 and GJesus Christ died for nothin' I supApose.

 Little Dpitchers have big ears,

 don't Bmstop to count the years,

 sweet E7songs never last too Elong on broken radiAos. AMmAsus4m.... A A

 Sam DStone's welcome home,

 didn't Glast too long,

 he Awent to work when he'd spent his last Ddime

And Sammy took to stealing,

 when he Ggot that empty feeling,

 for a Ahundred dollar habit without overDtime.

 And the Ggold rolled through his veins,

like a thousand railroad trains,

 and E7eased his mind in the hours that he Achose;

 while the Ekids ran around E7wearin' other peoples' Aclothes...

 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,

 and GJesus Christ died for nothin' I supApose.

 Little Dpitchers have big ears,

 don't Bmstop to count the years,

 sweet E7songs never last too Elong on broken radiAos. AMmAsus4m.... A A

 Sam DStone was alone,

 when he Gpopped his last balloon,

Aclimbing walls while sitting in a Dchair

Well, he played his last request,

 while the Groom smelled just like death,

 with an Aoverdose hovering in the Dair

 But Glife had lost its fun,

and there was nothing to be done,

 but E7trade his house that he bought on the G, I. ABill;

 for a Eflag draped casket on a E7local heroes' Ahill

 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,

 and GJesus Christ died for nothin' I supApose.

 Little Dpitchers have big ears,

 don't Bmstop to count the years,

 sweet E7songs never last too Elong on broken radiAos. AMmAsus4m.... A A
