Gm Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise And I wouldn't go to war D# And I mixed with other colours But the nurse doesn't care Gm And I hide under blankets Or did I run away D# I really can't remember Last time I saw the light of day C# Fm But I remember Sam C 'cause he was like me Chorus: D# A# Scream like a baby D# Dm Sam was a gun Am E/G# And I never knew his last name F G And we never had no fun Well, they came down hard on the faggots And they came down hard on the street They came down harder on Sam And they all knew he was beat He was thrown into the wagon Blindfolded, chains and they stomped on us And took away our clothes and things And pumped us full of strange drugs And, oh, I saw Sam falling Spitting in their eyes But now I lay me down to sleep And now I close my eyes Now I'm learning to be a part of society Chorus Dm A/C# No athletic program, C C# no discipline, no book Dm A/C# He just sat in the backseat C C# swearing he'd seek revenge G F# But he jumped into the furnace F E D# Singing old songs we loved Chorus - x3 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A  A#  C  C#  Dm  D#  E  F  Fm  F#  G  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
