Well I met Sam from down in New [C] Orleans
He had a lot of money and a long limousine
[F] Took a talkie-talkie on a Saturday night
[C] We met Silly Millie, everything was [G] alright
Her eyes started [F] rolling, we shoulda went [C] a-foaling
A wham-bam, who shot Sam?
My, my
Now Sam and Silly Millie, about a half past four
Were rockin' and rollin' on a hardwood [Cm] floor
Then Flirty Gertie [F] barged in on the [C] fun
Silly Millie got jealous and she pulled out a [G] gun
Tables started [F] crashing, 44s a [Ab]-flashin'
A wham-bam, who shot Sam?
[Eb] [C] My, my
Well the [F] police got by cheap, highway [C] patrol
Knocked down the front door with a big long [F] pole
Sammy was a lion on the cold, cold [Am] floor
[C] Shot to the middle with a .44
[G] Millie was a [F]-cryin', Sam was surely [C] dyin'
A wham-bam, who shot Sam?
My, my
Now
[Cm] [F] [Cm]
[G] [F] [C]

They were gonna book her for a shootin' old [Eb] Sam
[F] The judge gave her 20, Millie said, that's a [C] lot
You shouldn't give me nothin', he's already [G] half shot
Drankin' [F] white lightnin' and started all the fightin'
[A] A wham [C]-bam, who shot Sam?
My, my
