[G] I wrote a song while we were doing Pat Garrett, the kid that was inspired by Sam.
[G] That [A] One For The [G] Money?
One For The Money, great song.
And so what happened when they asked me to sing it at, it wasn't a funeral, but it was a [Ab]
memorial thing that they had for Sam over at the [Eb] Director's Guild or something.
And I used the same tune [D] almost.
But this was [G] the first thing I wrote about Sam.
[Eb] It [D] said, I've seen you standing [G] there stunned [D] in the spotlight.
I've seen the sweat streak [E] the pain [A] on your face.
[D] Cause you're caught like a clown [G] in a circle [D] of strangers.
Who do [A] you [D] screw to [G] get out of [D] this place?
One [G] for the money and too [D] far to go.
Three [A] fingers of whiskey [G] just [D] for the soul.
That [G] lady you're pleasing is hungry [D] and cold.
Don't look [A] in her eyes, [G]
you'll see [D] what you've seen.
Too many bodies [G] in too [D] many bars.
Too many [Em] feelings are [A] falling behind.
[D] Cause you're easy to fool [G] when you're lost [D] in the stars.
Shoot [A] out that spotlight [G] before [D] you.
One [G] for the money and too [D] far to go.
Three [A] fingers of whiskey [G] just [D] for the soul.
That lady [G] you're pleasing is [D] hungry and cold.
Don't look in [A] her eyes, [G]
you'll see what [D] you've seen.
Maybe this is a little more like Sam.
I call it Sam.
[G] Well you know what?
Willie Pepp said the first thing to go is your legs, then it's your repexes, [A] then it's your friends.
And unfortunately, [D] I just hit a blank.
[G] My head says, I [D] have been with the best [G] that the bastards [D] could muster.
From Danny the [E] dildo to [A] Sidney the snake.
[D] And I feel like a working [G] girl pausing [D] to wonder just how much screwing [A] the spirit [D] can take.
I [G] said, Willie, old buddy, [D] please tell me again the reason to keep going [A] on.
He [D] said, there's no harder words [G] to say over [D] a friend.
They've done [G] you so [D] righteously wrong.
[G] [D] They stopped you from [A] singing [D] your song.
He was our hero, [G] boys.
He took [D] the bullet, but he went down swinging [E]
his fist [A] from the floor.
[D] You can ask any working [G] girl south [D] of the corner.
Sam Peckinpah [A] era un hombre [D] for sure.
I [G] said, Willie, old [D] buddy, please tell me again the reason to keep [A] going on.

[G] [D] They stopped you from [A] singing [D] your song.
Yeah, [G] I wish I could have sung it for him when he was alive, though.
[Ab] He would have loved [G] that.
And I still enjoy communicating with songwriting.
I [A] hope that I'll be writing until they throw dirt on [G] me.
I know he will be.
He most will.
