Original Artist - Ballad Of Six Chamber Sam guitar chord

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

From drunken boyfriends and nefarious suits

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)
