Chords
[Intro]
A Asus4 A D Sam DStone came home,
[Verse 1]
To his Gwife and family
After Aserving in the conflict overseas D
And the time that he served,
Had Gshattered all his nerves,
And Aleft a little shrapnel in his knee D G D
[Pre-Chorus]
But the morGphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew 'round his brain,
And E7gave him all the confidence he lacked, A
With a E7Purple Heart and a monkey on his back A
[Chorus]
A7 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,
G Jesus Christ died for nothin' AI suppose
Little Dpitchers have big ears,
Don't Bmstop to count the years,
E7Sweet songs never last too long onA broken radios
Mmm.... D
[Verse 2]
Sam DStone's welcome home
Didn't lastG too long
A He went to work when he'd spent his last dime D
And Sammy took to stealing
When he gotG that empty feeling
For a Ahundred dollar habitG without Aovertime D G D
[Pre-Chorus]
And the goldG rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And E7eased his mind in the hours that he chose, A
While the E7kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes A
[Chorus]
A7 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,
G Jesus Christ died for nothin' AI suppose
Little Dpitchers have big ears,
Don't Bmstop to count the years,
E7Sweet songs never last too long onA broken radios
Mmm.... D
[Verse 3]
Sam DStone was alone
When he poppedG his last balloon
A Climbing walls while sitting in a chair D
Well, he played his last request
While the Groom smelled just like death
With an Aoverdose Ghovering Ain the air D G D
[Pre-Chorus]
But lifeG had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But E7trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill A
For a E7flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill A
[Chorus]
A7 There's a Dhole in daddy's arm where all the Emmoney goes,
G Jesus Christ died for nothin' AI suppose
[Outro]
Little Dpitchers have big ears,
Don't Bmstop to count the years,
E7Sweet songs never last too long onA broken radios A7
Mmm.... D
