[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
