_ Sam left [G] us the other day, [A] and I just found out this [D] morning.
[G] I called my buddy John [A] up in Oregon, [G] how I wish he was here in [D] California.
_ We'd watch [G] Paris, Texas with [A] Tommy V and Jimmy [D] Beam, [G] and I'm sure we'd all [A] be plenty drunk
[G] by the time it got to [D] our scene.
And we'd sit there [G] in silence [A] as the tears rolled down our [D] cheeks, [G] and we'd raise a glass
[A] to you, Sam, right [G] when Harry Dean started [D] to speak.
_ [G] Ooh, [A] ooh, ooh, ooh, [D] ooh, ooh, ooh, _ [G] ooh, [A] ooh, [D] ooh, _ [G]
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [A] ooh, [D] ooh. _ _
_ I called his [G] sister Sandy just to [A] see how she was [D] doing.
She [G] said she'd be fine with [A] her glass of wine, [G] she'd be coming home real [D] soon.
And we'd sit down by [G] the water and [A] pick [D] guitars all night long, [G] and I'm sure we'd all [A] be plenty
drunk by [G] the time she sang his [D] song.
And we'd sit there [G] in silence as [A] the morning time drew [D] near, [G] and we'd raise a glass to
[A] you Sam, [G] as that river took her [D] tears.

_ _ _ [A] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I [D] _ _ _
_ went through an [G] old box of mine, that [A] I swore I kept in,
[D] _
[G] but I couldn't find that [A] old book of years, I [G] must have lent it to my [D] friend.
But I recall [G] this story in it of [A] a cowboy coming [D] home [G] and staring at all [A] the things
on his wall [G] realizing what he'd become.
[D] _
And I sat there in [G] silence trying [A] to remember your [D] words.
[G] And I raised a glass to you [A] Sam as [G] you rolled off to find that [D] herd.
