Capo III
Sam
D
Stone came home,
to his
G
wife and family,
after
A
serving in the conflict over
D
seas.
A
and the time that he served,
had
G
shattered all his nerves,
and
A
left a little shrapnel in his
D
knee.
But the
G
morphine eased the pain,
and the grass grew round his brain,
and
E7
gave him all the confidence he
A
lacked;
with a
E
Purple Heart and a
E7
monkey on his
A
back.
There's a
D
hole in daddy's arm where all the
E
money goes,
and
G
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I sup
A
pose.
Little
D
pitchers have big ears,
don't
Bm
stop to count the years,
sweet
E7
songs never last too
E
long on broken radi
A
os.

Sam
D
Stone's welcome home,
didn't
G
last too long,
he
A
went to work when he'd spent his last
D
dime
A
and Sammy took to stealing,
when he
G
got that empty feeling,
for a
A
hundred dollar habit without over
D
time.
A
nd the
G
gold rolled through his veins,
like a thousand railroad trains,
and
E7
eased his mind in the hours that he
A
chose;
while the
E
kids ran around
E7
wearin' other peoples'
A
clothes...
There's a
D
hole in daddy's arm where all the
E
mmoney goes,
and
G
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I sup
A
pose.
Little
D
pitchers have big ears,
don't
Bm
stop to count the years,
sweet
E7
songs never last too
E
long on broken radi

A
Sam
D
Stone was alone,
when he
G
popped his last balloon,
A
climbing walls while sitting in a
D
chair
Well, he played his last request,
while the
G
room smelled just like death,
with an
A
overdose hovering in the
D
air
But
G
life had lost its fun,
and there was nothing to be done,
but
E7
trade his house that he bought on the
G
, I.
A
Bill;
for a
E
flag draped casket on a
E7
local heroes'
A
hill
There's a
D
hole in daddy's arm where all the
E
money goes,
and
G
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I sup
A
pose.
Little
D
pitchers have big ears,
don't

stop to count the years,
sweet

songs never last too
