Song: Ballad Of Six Chamber Sam Tab
Ballad of Six Chamber Sam
written 2005
I like to call it: "Don Quijote" meets "Smokey and the Bandit."
INTRO: D
D
He comes from Hick'ry County
G D D/F# D
The place where his grandad broke the ground
D
No one knows him
G D D/F# D
But he's reknowned for miles around
G D D/F# G
In his mind he's a hero for the common man
D
Don't talk him out of fightin'
G A D
'Cause that's somethin' that he won't understand
CHORUS:
G D D/F# D
They call him Six Chamber Sam, he's got his thirty-eight by his side
G A7
When he gets behind the wheel, you better bet that ol' truck flies
G D D/F# Bm
And whenever you feel down, whenever you're just too weak to fight
G A D
Don't you worry 'cause Six Chamber Sam is right there by your side
D
He's saved damsels in distrees
G D D/F# D
D
He's drop-kicked politicians
G D D/F# D
With the soles of his muddy cowboy boots
G D D/F# G
He wears flannel and bandoliers, jeans and a hat dipped down low
D G A D
And he can see them villains beggin' for mercy from miles down the road
CHORUS
SOLO
D
Well it was bound to happen
G D D/F# D
One night he caught up with Johnny Law
D
He was bound and determined
G D D/F# D
To put up a fight like that county never saw
G D D/F# G
He whipped out his thirty-eight started shootin' it off into the stars
D G A D
Weren't no way in hell they're gonna put Ol' Sam behind bars
CHORUS
D G
Singin' Six Chamber Sam
D A
Yeah Six Chamber Sam
D G Bm A D
Long live your name and your aim Six Chamber Sam
(repeat)
