Verse 1
Crockett hat,
C
a buckskin coat and boots,
G
Gm
and landed in our town one night
G
D
just like a parachute.
G
He'd sit alone at Jack's Café
C
and smoke a big cigar
G
And doodle wild equations
D
on his napkin at the bar
G
He came to my attention
C
when my best friend said he'd seen
G
Him talking with three well -dressed Arabs
G
The sheriff asked from
where they'd come,
C
that was a bad mistake
G
The next day in his mailbox
D
was a wounded rattlesnake
G
The waitress at the donut shop
C
said his name was Robert Smith
G
At least that's what he told her
D
when he left her a big tip
G
But Sam McGuire was what she saw
C
on his card that said for hire
G
If he was Robert Smith, she said,
D
G
then who was Sam McGuire?
He had good manners
C
and could quote Hegel, Yeats, and Blake.
G
He bought the old Cobb cabin
D
in the woods out by the lake.
G
And soon big canvas trucks would come
C
and roll out to his home and
G
unload giant boxes,
D
their contents quite unknown.
G
Fishermen by the lake
C
swore they heard strange sounds
G
that rumbled from his windows
D
when the evening sun went down.
G
His li cense plate was traced to a
C
Sam McGuire who had expired.
G
If he was Robert Smith,
D
G
then who the hell was Sam McGuire?
Giant flocks of geese
would turn
C
whenever they flew near.
G
The space above his rooftop

they would scatter in wild fear.
G
And though it was still spring,
C
with many daffodils in town,
G
The leaves around his property
D
had shriveled and turned brown.
G
At the hardware store I met him,
C
he said, I'm Robert Smith.
G
He wore a rock and roll t -shirt
D
with Megadeth on it,
G
But Sam McGuire was tattooed
C
on his shoulder that perspired.
G
If he was Robert Smith,
D
G
I wondered who was Sam McGuire
At summer's end, he disappeared,
C
he drove off in a van
G
He left a sign behind
D
that warned of landmines on his land
G
And then the special bulletin
C
that came on the TV
G
An H -bomb blew Chicago
G
The U .S. Army filled our town
C
and ran to where he'd live
G
Though not one mine was ever found,
D
the Geiger counters clicked
G
And the only question on the
C
lips of officials who inquired
G
If he was Robert Smith, they asked him,
D
G
who was Sam McGuire? you
