[Verse 1]
[G]There's a fellow [Cm]I kno[Eb]w,
folks [Ab]call him [G]Sam
He [Cm]never gets [F]as much as he [Baug]gives[Cm]
But if you'll give a listen,
please sir, [G]please ma 'am
[D]I'll [F]tell you something [G]about [F]how
Sam [C]lives[Cm][Bb][Ab][G]
[C]Sam's life [Am]is not the
sort of life [Dm]you'd [G]wish
[Em]Sam's life is wa[Am]sh another dirty[F] dish[G][F]
[Em]Sam's life is ju[C]st another floor[F] to mop[Abdim]
[G]Harvesting som[Am]ebody els[Dm]e's crop
[G]Sam's [C]life is [Am]common
labor [D]every [Dm]day[G]
[Em]Nothing but [Am]trouble comes
[F]the easy [G]way
[F]Sam's [Em]life is we[C]ary muscles,
[F]aching bac[Abdim]ks,[G]
praying to [Am]God a[C#]n d facing fa[C]cts.
[F]Fact [Am]is, t[F]his [Em]life of his[Am]
[Dm]has too much p[G]ain and sorr[Bbdim]ow[C]
[F]But Sam's strong and [Em]he still has a [Am]song
an[D]d hope for [F]tomor[Em]row.[Eb][Dm]
[C]Sam's [G]life's a b[Am]right -eyed
[Dm]little girl and [G]boy,[Em]
working to [Am]make a way so [F]they'll en[G]joy
[F]A l[Em]ittle better op[C]portunit[F]y
[Abdim]than ever[G] was giv[Am]en to Sam or [Dm]me[Am]
[G]An d I be[C]lieve [F]He [G]can[Em][G][F]
[Am]Because [Dm]I beli[G]eve in[C] Sam.
