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)
