Sam Stone came home,

To his wife and family

Had shattered all his nerves,

And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
A
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
F#
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
B
F#
With a Purple Heart and a monkey

where all the money goes,
A
Jesus Christ died for

Don't stop to count the years,

Sweet songs never last too

long on broken radios.

Verse 3
B
E
Sam Stone's welcome home
A
Didn't last too long.
B
He went to work when he'd
E
spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
A
When he got that empty feeling
B
For a hundred dollar habit
E

A
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
F#
And eased his mind in the
B
hours that he chose,
F#
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples'

was alone
A
B
When he popped his last balloon

Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request

While the room smelled just like death
B

E
With an overdose hovering in the air
A
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
F#
But trade his house that he
B
bought on the G. I. Bill
F#
For a flag draped casket on a
local heroes' hill.
