John Prine (live version)

Capo III

DSam (xx0232@1)Stone came home,
       Gto (320003@1)his wife and family,
      A (x02220@1)                         Dafter (xx0232@1)serving in the conflict overseas.
        
And the time that he served,
    Ghad (320003@1)shattered all his nerves,
    A (x02220@1)                           Dand (xx0232@1)left a little shrapnel in his knee. 
        GBut (320003@1)the morphine eased the pain,

and the grass grew round his brain,
    E7 (020130@1)                           Aand (x02220@1)gave him all the confidence he lacked;
       E (022100@1)                E7 (020130@1)          Awith (x02220@1)a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back.

D (xx0232@1)                               EmThere's (022000@1)a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
    G (320003@1)                                Aand (x02220@1)Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
       DLittle (xx0232@1)pitchers have big ears,
      Bmdon't (x24432@1)stop to count the years,
      E7 (020130@1)                 E (022100@1)                A (x02220@1) AAsus4 AA
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

DSam (xx0232@1)Stone's welcome home,
       Gdidn't (320003@1)last too long,
   A (x02220@1)                                   Dhe (xx0232@1)went to work when he'd spent his last dime
    
And Sammy took to stealing,
        Gwhen (320003@1)he got that empty feeling,
      A (x02220@1)                              Dfor (xx0232@1)a hundred dollar habit without overtime. 
        GAnd (320003@1)the gold rolled through his veins,

like a thousand railroad trains,
    E7 (020130@1)                                Aand (x02220@1)eased his mind in the hours that he chose;
          E (022100@1)             E7 (020130@1)                   Awhile (x02220@1)the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

D (xx0232@1)                               EmThere's (022000@1)a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
    G (320003@1)                                Aand (x02220@1)Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
       DLittle (xx0232@1)pitchers have big ears,
      Bmdon't (x24432@1)stop to count the years,
      E7 (020130@1)                 E (022100@1)                A (x02220@1) AAsus4 AA
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios. Mmm....

DSam (xx0232@1)Stone was alone,
        Gwhen (320003@1)he popped his last balloon,
A (x02220@1)                               Dclimbing (xx0232@1)walls while sitting in a chair

Well, he played his last request,
          Gwhile (320003@1)the room smelled just like death,
        A (x02220@1)                      Dwith (xx0232@1)an overdose hovering in the air
    GBut (320003@1)life had lost its fun,

and there was nothing to be done,
    E7 (020130@1)                                        Abut (x02220@1)trade his house that he bought on the G, I. Bill;
      E (022100@1)                     E7 (020130@1)          Afor (x02220@1)a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

D (xx0232@1)                               EmThere's (022000@1)a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
    G (320003@1)                                Aand (x02220@1)Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
       DLittle (xx0232@1)pitchers have big ears,
      Bmdon't (x24432@1)stop to count the years,
      E7 (020130@1)                 E (022100@1)                A (x02220@1) AAsus4 AA
