Chord tabs are in English captions/subtitles. Playalong ukulele cover with chords as tutorial
F Bb
Sam Stone came home to his wife and family
C F
After serving in the conflict overseas
And the time that he served
Bb
Had shattered all his nerves
C F
And left a little shrapnel in his knee
Bb
But the morphine eased the pain
And the grass grew round his brain
G7 C
And gave him all the confidence he lacked
G G7 C
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back
F
There's a hole in daddy's arm
Gm
Where all the money goes
Bb C
Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose
F
Little pitchers have big ears
Dm
Don't stop to count the years
G
Sweet songs never last too long on
C F
Broken radios, Mmm....
Bb
Sam Stone's welcome home didn't last too long
C F
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
Bb
When he got that empty feeling
C F
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime
Bb
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains
G7 C
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose
G
While the kids ran around
G7 C
Wearin' other peoples' clothes
F
There's a hole in daddy's arm
Gm
Where all the money goes
Bb C
Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose
F
Little pitchers have big ears
Dm
Don't stop to count the years
G
Sweet songs never last too long on
C F
Broken radios, Mmm....
Sam Stone was alone
Bb
When he popped his last balloon
C F
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
Bb
While the room smelled just like death
C F
With an overdose hovering in the air
Bb
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
G7
But trade his house
C
That he bought on the G. I. Bill
G G7 C
For a flag-draped casket on a local heroes' hill
F
There's a hole in daddy's arm
Gm
Where all the money goes
Bb C
Jesus Christ died for nothing, I suppose
F
Little pitchers have big ears
Dm
Don't stop to count the years
G
Sweet songs never last too long on
C F
Broken radios, Mmm....
