SAM STONE
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Sam Stone came home, to his wife and family
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
After serving in the conflict overseas.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the time that he served, Shattered all his nerves,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And left a little shrapnel in his knees.
ch]C[/ch
But the morphine eased the pain, And the grass grew round his brain,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Daddy must have hurt a lot then I suppose.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Sam Stone's welcome home Didn't last too long.
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And soon he took to stealing When he got that empty feeling
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
ch]C[/ch
And the gold roared through his veins Like a thousand railroad trains,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Daddy must have suffer a lot then I suppose.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Little pitchers have big ears, Don't stop to count the years,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And he breath his last request,
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
While the room smelled just like death,
ch]C[/ch
With an overdose hovering in the air. But life had lost it's fun,
And there was nothing to be done,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
But trade his house that he bought on the GI bill,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
For a flag-draped casket on a local hero's hill
