Sam Hill
recorded by Merle Haggard
capo on the 3rd fret
D Bm
There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill
D A
And a certain guy used to go there every day
D Bm
They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill
Em A
Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways
D G
This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin'
Em A
Headed back to town at the crack of dawn
D G
And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin'
D A D
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
Bm
We knew this certain guy was not a goldminer
D A
Cause he never took a shovel or a pick
D Bm
He only took a little box of candy
Em A
And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick
D G
We tried to follow him to his destination
Em A
But he had a secret path and soon he was gone
D G
And he had us all a wonderin' what he was doin'
D A D G A D
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
Bm

D A
You've probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?"
D Bm
All I can say in answer to your question
Em A
Is the goin's on are still goin' on
D G
This certain guy's still takin' up his candy
Em A
He's 99 and all his youth is gone
D G
But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smilin'
D A D
And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on
Bm Em
Wish I knew
A D
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
Bm Em
He won't tell us'
A D
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
Bm Em
He just snickers
A D
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
