[VERSE 1]
E Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise And I wouldn't go to war
Am And I mixed with other colours But the nurse doesn't care
E And I hide under blankets Or did I run away
G I really can't remember Last time I saw the light of day
F E But I remember Sam
D 'cause he was like me
C Bb
F G [CHORUS]
C G Scream like a baby
C Bm Sam was a gun
F#m G And I never knew his last name
Bb C D And we never had no fun

[VERSE 2]
E Well they came down hard on the faggots And they came down hard on the street
Am They came down harder on Sam And they all knew he was beat
E He was thrown into the wagon Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us
G And took away our clothes and things And pumped us full of strange drugs
E And oh I saw Sam falling Spitting in their eyes
G But now I lay me down to sleep And now I close my eyes
F E Now I'm learning to be
D a part of society
C Bb
F G [CHORUS]
C G Scream like a baby
C Bm Sam was a gun
F#m G And I never knew his last name
Bb C D And we never had no fun [BRIDGE]
C B No athletic program,
A# A no discipline, no book
G# G He just sat in the backseat
F# F swearing he'd seek revenge
E D# But he jumped into the furnace
D Singing old songs we loved [CHORUS] Twice. The 2nd time, though, it goes like:
F# C# Scream like a baby
F# Fm Sam was a gun
Cm C# And I never knew his last name
Eb F# A And we never had no fun
