Chord/Tab song: Sam Hill

recorded by Merle Haggard

capo on the 3rd fret

[D]There's a certain hill outside of town called [Bm]Sam Hill
And a [D]certain guy used to go there every [A]day
They s[D]aid a certain girl lived up in S[Bm]am Hill
Aw, a [Em]pretty girl, not hep to city [A]ways

This c[D]ertain guy would come down the hill a [G]smilin'
[Em]Headed back to town at the crack of [A]dawn
And he [D]had 'em all a wonderin' what he was d[G]oin'
Yeah, [D]wonderin' what in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on

We knew this certain guy was not a g[Bm]oldminer
Cause he [D]never took a shovel or a [A]pick
He o[D]nly took a little box of [Bm]candy
And [Em]disappeared in Sam Hill mighty [A]quick

We [D]tried to follow him to his desti[G]nation
But he [Em]had a secret path and soon he was [A]gone
And he [D]had us all a wonderin' what he was [G]doin'
Yeah, [D]wonderin' what in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on[G][A][D]

I know that you have wondered too about [Bm]Sam Hill
You've [D]probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' [A]on?"
All [D]I can say in answer to your [Bm]question
Is the [Em]goin's on are still goin' [A]on

This [D]certain guy's still takin' up his [G]candy
He's [Em]99 and all his youth is [A]gone
But he [D]climbs that hill and still comes down a [G]smilin'
And we're [D]wonderin' what in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on
Wish I [Bm]knew[Em]
What in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on
He won't [Bm]tell us'[Em]
What in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on
He just [Bm]snickers[Em]
What in [A]Sam Hill's goin' [D]on
