_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ There's a certain hill outside of [Dm] town called Sam Hill
[F] And a certain guy used to go [C] there every day
_ [F] They said a certain girl lived [Dm] up in Sam Hill.
[Gm] Oh
Pretty girl not hip to [C] city ways
_ [F] This certain guy would come down the [Bb] hill of smiling
_ _ [Gm] heading back for town at [C] crack of dawn
_ [F] And he had them all
Wondering [Bb] what he was doing
_ [F] Yeah, wondering what Sam Hill going on
_ We knew this certain guy was [Dm] not a gold miner
_ [F] Cause he never took a shovel or a pick.
[C] _ [F] He only took a little [Dm] box of candy
_ [G] And disappeared in Sam Hill [C] mighty quick
_ [F] We tried to follow him to his [Bb] destination _
_ [G] But he had a secret path and [C] soon he was gone
_ [F] And he had us all wondering what [Bb] he was doing
_ [F] Yeah, wondering [C] what the Sam Hill [F] going on
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ I know that you have wondered too about Sam [Dm] Hill
You probably asked what Sam [C] Hill's going on
_ [F] All I can say and answer [Dm] to your question
_ Is the [Gm] goings on or [Bb] still [C] going on
_ [F] This certain guy still taking up [Bb] his candy
_ [Gm] He's 99 and all his [C] youth is gone
_ [F] But he climbs that hill and still comes [Bb] down and smiling
_ And we're [C] wondering what Sam Hill's going on
Wish [D] I knew
[G] _ [Am] What Sam Hill's going on
[D] He won't tell us
[Gm] _ [Am] What Sam Hill's going on
[D] He just snickers
[Gm] What [C] Sam Hill's going on
[D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
