Sam's Town chords by Kevin Welch


Kevin Welch Chords

Kevin Welch - Sam's Town

Capo 3

C                                        F                   C
Sam never believed that he could ever be anything special to anyone
C                                               F                   C  
But he didn't mind no he was the kind who could get along fine with everyone
G                                 Am                      F
He had a job at the Texaco and if you were a stranger and things were slow
G                                    Am                    F
He'd be glad to just put it all down take you out and show you around
C
Sam's Town

Well you know Sam had a little bit of land a quarter section or so
But the creek ran shallow and the fields lay fallow he couldn't get a thing to grow
So when the land man came to his trailer one night talking percentages and mineral rights
Didn't take long for the deal to go down they were sinking a drilling rig deep in the ground
Sam's Ground

G
Ain't life funny ain't life strange
Am                        F
Ain't it amazing how your life can change
G         
Came rushing like a big black bull
          Am                    F
They were piping it out by the barrel full
G                        Am        F
Pretty soon the word got round
         C
Down in Sam's town

Well some time went by the yield was high the money just rollin in
Still old Sam stayed a simple man you never know he had a nickle to spend
But he built a new wing on the old high school the church house finally got a brand new roof
Then a park with a pool, a big play ground, spreading every bit of that money around
Sam's town

Ain't life funny ain't life strange
Ain't it amazing how your life can change
One day like the lord just threw a switch
That well went as dry as a dust bowl ditch
Then a man came down from the government
He was wanting to know where all that money went
Sam just smiled well I'd be proud to show you around
Our Town

Ain't life funny ain't life strange
Ain't in amazing how your life can change
The tax man auctioned off that land
But the town pitched in they bought it all back for him

Now he's still down at the Texaco, if your a stranger and things are slow
He'd be glad to just lay it all down and take you out and show you around
Sam's Town
