[Gm] [Eb]
[Dm] [Bb] Somewhere in the south of Spain, [Gm] Sammy still [Bb] 16, goes [Eb] with his uncle for a ride.
[Dm] Sun is high, [Bb] sailing through the city, for to see the [G] sights and [Gm] talking sex.
[Eb] Sammy sitting tall, [Dm] sun is high, [Bb] his uncle brings him to a brothel.
[Gm] Being big he buys a drink, [Eb] rum and coke.
[Dm] Don't taste too bad,
[Bb] having brought him to the [Dm] brink, his uncle [G] leaves him with his [Bb] drink, rum [Eb] and coke.
Don't [Dm] taste too bad.
[Gm]
The girls all gather in a group [Bb] and give Sammy
boy the eye, [Gm] and stare at him seductively, [Bb] and try to make him buy.
So choosing one [Dm] that's younger, [Gm] better looking than the rest.
[Eb] Sammy speaks no Spanish, but she [Dm] understands.
[Bb] They go upstairs to buy the room,
she wants [G] her money in [Gm] advance.
[Eb] Sammy speaks no Spanish, but he [Dm] understands.
[Bb]
And lying on her back upon the [Gm] bed, she beckons, Sammy [Eb] won't lie down yet.
He [Dm] wants her nude.
[Bb] Speaking Spanish she refuses him,
[G] at last afraid of [Gm] losing him, she [Eb] takes off all her clothes.
He [Dm] wants her nude.
[G] Her hands upon her heart can [Bb] hardly hide the horrid scars.
[G] From her shoulder to her waist, her [Bb] skin is leathery and hard.
She pantomimes an accident, [Gm] a car, a fire, not [Eb] so long ago.
His [Dm] eyes are wide, she [Bb] moves to put her clothes back on,
[G] but he won't let her [Gm] go, he [Eb] lies her down.
His [Dm] eyes are wide, and [Bb] lightly like a lover, Sammy lets [Gm] his lips caress the leather of [Eb] her breast.
His [D] brain is [Dm] numb, [Bb] moved by some [Dm] far distant mind, [G] he makes himself [Gm] her bridegroom.
[Eb] Sammy's hardly there at all.
His [Dm] brain is numb, [G] she moves to take him in now,
but [Bb] her hand finds him still slack, [G] so she sucks to make him hard, and then [Bb] again lies on her back.
And Sammy does the [Dm] deed, the silent [Gm] screaming in his skull, the [Eb] scars surround him.
Is this [Dm] all real?
[Bb] Schizophrenic Sammy sees himself [G] outside his [Gm] body and his [Eb] brain.
Is this [Dm] all real?
[Bb]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Dm] [Bb]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Dm] [Bb] Back at the [Dm] hotel, he [Gm] has to heal himself.
But [Eb] all he does is shake, [Dm] and shake some more.
[Bb] Without the grace of tears or [G] sickness, Sammy sucks it all [Eb] inside and shakes.
[Dm] Shake some more.
[Bb] Without the grace of [Dm] tears or sickness, [Gm] Sammy sucks it all [Eb] inside and shakes.
[Dm] Shake some more.
