[VERSE 1]
E
Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
Am
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn't care
E
And I hide under blankets
Or did I run away
G
I really can't remember
Last time I saw the light of day
F E
But I remember Sam
D
'cause he was like me
C Bb
F G
[CHORUS]
C G
Scream like a baby
C Bm
Sam was a gun
F#m G
And I never knew his last name
Bb C D
And we never had no fun

[VERSE 2]
E
Well they came down hard on the faggots
And they came down hard on the street
Am
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat
E
He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us
G
And took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs
E
And oh I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
G
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes
F E
Now I'm learning to be
D
a part of society
C Bb
F G
[CHORUS]
C G
Scream like a baby
C Bm
Sam was a gun
F#m G
And I never knew his last name
Bb C D
And we never had no fun
[BRIDGE]
C B
No athletic program,
A# A
no discipline, no book
G# G
He just sat in the backseat
F# F
swearing he'd seek revenge
E D#
But he jumped into the furnace
D
Singing old songs we loved
[CHORUS]
Twice. The 2nd time, though, it goes like:
F# C#
Scream like a baby
F# Fm
Sam was a gun
Cm C#
And I never knew his last name
Eb F# A
And we never had no fun
