Sam Stone
John Prine
Key : F
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C Csus4 C F    F
           Sam Stone came home,

[Verse 1]
---------------------
       A#
To his wife and family
      C                               F
After serving in the conflict overseas
And the time that he served,
    A#
Had shattered all his nerves,
    C                                 F A# F
And left a little shrapnel in his knee

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
           A#
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew 'round his brain,
    G7                                    C
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
       G7                                   C
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C7          F                                 Gm
  There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
A#                             C
 Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose
       F
Little pitchers have big ears,
      Dm
Don't stop to count the years,
G7                                C
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
       F
Mmm....

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    F
Sam Stone's welcome home
           A#
Didn't last too long
C                                             F
 He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
           A#
When he got that empty feeling
      C                   A#       C       F A# F
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
            A#
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
    G7                                        C
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
          G7                                            C
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes



[Verse 3]
---------------------
    F
Sam Stone was alone
              A#
When he popped his last balloon
C                                       F
 Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
          A#
While the room smelled just like death
        C        A#       C         F A# F
With an overdose hovering in the air

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
        A#
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
    G7                                              C
But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill
      G7                                        C
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C7          F                                 Gm
  There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
A#                             C
 Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose

[Outro]
---------------------
       F
Little pitchers have big ears,
      Dm
Don't stop to count the years,
G7                                C             C7
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
       F
Mmm....
