Sam Stone chords John Prine (live version) Capo III

Sam ^DStone came home, to his ^Gwife and family, after ^Aserving in the conflict over^Dseas.

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 sup^Apose. Little ^Dpitchers have big ears, don't ^Bmstop to count the years, sweet ^E7songs never last too ^Elong on broken radi^Aos. ^AMm^Asus4m.... ^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 over^Dtime. 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...

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

^AMm^Asus4m.... ^A ^D
