[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
