Chords for JOHN PRINE SAM STONE 1971 (from his self-titled debut album John Prine)

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ Sam Stone came home [Gm] to his wife and [Bb] family
_ _ [C] After serving in the conflict [F] overseas
_ _ _ _ _ And the time that he served _ [Bb] had shattered all his nerve
_ [C] And left a little shrapnel in [F] his [Bb] knee
_ _ [F] _ But [Bb] the morphine eased the pain
_ And the grass grew around his brain
_ [G] And gave him all the confidence [C] he lacked
_ _ _ _ _ [G] With a purple heart and a monkey on his [C] back
_ _ _ _ _ [F] There's a hole in daddy's arm where [Gm] all the money goes
And _ _ _ [Bb] _
Jesus Christ died for nothing, [C] I suppose
_ _ _ [F] Little pictures have big ears
Don't [Dm] stop to count the years
_ [G] Sweet songs never last too [C] long on broken _ _ radios
Mm-hmm [F]-hmm-hmm
_ Sam _ _ _ _ Stone's welcome home _ [Bb] didn't last too long
_ He _ [C] _
went to work when he'd spent his [F] last dime
_ _ _ _ _ And Sammy took to stealin' when [Bb] he got that empty feelin'
For [C] a hundred dollar habit _ [Bb] _ [C] without [F] overtime _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ And the [Bb] gold rolled through his veins like a thousand railroad trains
[G] He eased his mind in the hours that [C] he chose
_ _ _ _ [G] While the kids ran around wearin' other _ [C] people's clothes
_ _ _ _ _ [F] There's a hole in daddy's arm where [Gm] all the money goes
_ _ _ _ [Bb] And Jesus Christ _ died for nothing, [C] I suppose
_ _ _ _ [F] Little pictures have big ears
_ [Dm] Don't stop to count the years
_ [G] Sweet songs never last too long [C] on broken _ _ radios
Mm-hmm [F]-hmm-hmm
_ _ _ _ Sam Stone was alone when [Bb] he popped his last balloon
_ _ [C] _
Climbin' walls while sitting in [F] a chair
_ Well, _ he played his last request _ [Bb] while a room smelled just like death
With [C] an overdose _ [Bb] hoverin' [C] in the [F] air
[Bb] But [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] life had lost its fun _ and there was nothin' to be done
_ [G] Betrayed his house that he bought on the [C] GI Bill _
_ _ _ _ [G] For a flag draped casket on a local hero's [C] hill _
_ There's _ _ a hole [F] in daddy's arm where [Gm] all the money goes
And _ _ [Bb] _
Jesus Christ died for nothing, [C] I suppose
_ _ _ [F] Little pictures have big ears
_ [Dm] Don't stop to count the years
_ [G] Sweet songs never last too long [C] on broken radios
_ Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
