Sam Stone came home,
G
To his wife and family

After serving in the conflict overseas.

And the time that he served,
G
Had shattered all his nerves,
A
D
G
D
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
G
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
E
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
A
E
With a Purple Heart and a monkey
A
on his back.
Verse 2
D
[Chorus] There's a
hole in daddy's arm
A
E
Em
where all the money goes,
G
Jesus Christ died for
A
nothin' I suppose.
D
Little pitchers have big ears,
Bm
Don't stop to count the years,
E
Sweet songs never last too
A
long on broken radios.
Mmm

Verse 3
A
D
Sam Stone's welcome home
G
Didn't last too long.
A
He went to work when he'd
D
spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
G
When he got that empty feeling
A
For a hundred dollar habit
D
G
D
without overtime.
G
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
E
And eased his mind in the
A
hours that he chose,
E
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples'

Verse 4
D
was alone
G
A
When he popped his last balloon
D
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
G
While the room smelled just like death
A
D
G
D
With an overdose hovering in the air
G
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
E
But trade his house that he
A
bought on the G. I. Bill
E
For a flag draped casket on a
local heroes' hill.
