Verse 1
G

Sam Stone Sam

home to his wife and family
Am
D

After serving in

the conflicts overseas
G
C
G

And the war in which he served,
C

had shattered every nerve,
G
Am
G
D

and left a little shrapnel in his knee.
G

All the morphine eased his pain,
C
G

and the grass ran round his veins,
Am

which gave him all the
G
D

confidence he lacked.

With a purple heart
G

and a monkey on his back
C
Am
C

There's a hole in daddy's arm
G

where the money goes
C
Am

Jesus Christ, he died for nothing,
D

I suppose
G

Little pictures have big ears
C

Don't you stop to count the years
Am

Sweet songs never last too long
D

on broken radios
G

I'm singing Sam Stone's

Welcome Home
Am

didn't last too long it seems
D

He went to work
G
C
G

when he'd spent his last dime

And Sammy took to stealin'
C

when he got that empty feelin'
G
Am

For a hundred -dollar habit
G
D

without overtime
G

The grass ran round his veins
C

like a hundred railroad trains
G
Am

Which eased his mind
G
D

in the hours that he chose

While the kids ran around
G

wearing other people's clothes
C

There's a hole in daddy's arm
G

where the money goes
C
Am

Jesus Christ, died for nothing,
D

I suppose
G

Little pictures have big ears
C

Don't you stop to count the years
Am

Sweet songs never last too long
D

on broken radios
G

I'm singing, Sandstone was alone
Am

when he burst his last balloon
D
G

Climbing walls while sitting in a chair

And the room smelled just like death
C

when they played his last request
Am
G
D

With an overdose hovering in the air
G

Oh, but life had lost its fun,
C

there was nothing to be done
Am

But to trade his house
G
D

that he bought on the G .I. Bill

For a flag -draped casket
G

on a local hero's hill
C

There's a hole in Daddy's arm
G

where the money goes
C
Am

Jesus Christ, he died for nothing,
D

I suppose
G

Little pictures have big ears,
C

don't you stop to count the years
Am

Sweet songs never last too long
D

on broken radios
G
D

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
