Verse 1
(D major) Sam (B minor) (A major) nev
(D major) er believed that he ever
could be (G major) (D major) any (G major) thing special to any (D major) one
But he didn't mind, no, he was the kind
who could (G major) get along fine
with everyone (D major) (A major)
He had a (E minor) job at the (A major) taxico,
and (B minor) if you were a stranger
and (G major) things were slow
He'd (A major) be glad just to put it all (A minor) down
He'd (G major) take you out and show (E minor) you
around (D major) Sam's town (G major) (D major)
Yeah, you know old Sam
had a little bit of land
A (G major) quarter section or so
(D major) But the creek ran shallow
and the fields lay fallow
Could (G major) n't get a thing to grow (D major)
So when the (A major) land man
came to his trailer one night
Talk (B minor) in' percentages
and (G major) mineral rights
Did (A major) n't take long for the
deal to go down
They was (G major) sinkin' a drilling rig
deep (E minor) in the ground
Yeah, Sam's (D major) ground (G major)
Mm (D major) -hmm
Yeah, (A major) (D major) now, (A major) ain't life funny?
Ain't life strange?
(D major) Ain't it amazing how your (G major) life can change?
It (A major) came rushin' like a big black bull
They were (B minor) pippin' it out by the (G major) barrel full
An (A major) d pretty soon the
word got round (G major) (D major)
(E minor) On down in Sam's (D major) town (G major)
Yeah, yeah (D major)
Well, (A major) some (D major) time went by
The yield was high
The (G major) money just rollin' (D major) in
Still old Sam stayed a simple man,
you never know (G major) he had
an equal to speak (D major)
(A major) But (D major) he (A major) built a new wing on
the old high school
The (B minor) church house finally
got a (G major) brand new roof
Then a (A major) park with a pool,
a big playground
Spread (G major) ing every (B minor) bit of that
money (E minor) around (G major) (E minor) (D major) (G major)
Well, (D major) (A major) ain't life funny, ain't life strange,
(D major) ain't it amazing how
your (G major) life can change?
One day, (A major) like the Lord just threw a switch,
that well (B minor) went as dry
as a (G major) dust bowl ditch.
And then a (A major) man came down
from the government,
he was (B minor) wanting to know
where (G major) all that money
When (E minor) Sam (A major) just smiled, he said, well,
I'd be proud (G major) to (D major) show you around, (E minor)
boy, the (D major) isle of town. (G major)
Come on. (D major) Yeah, (A major) ain't life funny?
Ain't life strange?
(D major) Ain't it just amazing
how your (G major) life can change?
(A major) Tax man auctioned off that land,
but the (B minor) town pitched in
and they bought (G major) it all back for him.
(A flatdim) Now, (A major) he's stiffed down
at the Texaco.
An (B minor) d if you're a stranger,
(G major) things are slow.
(A major) He'd be glad just to put it all down.
(G major) He'll take you (D major) out,
he'll (E minor) show you around.
Yeah, (D major) Sam's town. (G major) (D major) (G major)
It's Uncle (D major) Sam's town now. (G major)
Yeah, yeah,
(D major)
