Verse 1

G                          G/F#
Somewhere in the south of Spain
Em                                           C
Sammy, still sixteen, goes with his uncle for a ride
         Bm
The sun is high

Verse 2

G                  G/F#
Sailing through the city
Em
For to see the sights and talking sex
                C
Sammy's sitting tall
          Bm
The sun is high

Verse 3

G                         G/F#
His uncle brings him to a brothel
Em
Being big he buys a drink
C
Rum and coke
              Bm
Don't taste too bad

Verse 4

G                         G/F#
Having brought him to the brink
Em
His uncle leaves him with his drink
       C
Rum and coke
               Bm
Don't taste too bad

Bridge 1

Em
The girls all gather in a group
                       G
And give Sammy boy the eye
Em
And stare at him seductively
                   G
And try to make him buy

Verse 5

G                         G/F#
So choosing one that's younger
Em
Better looking than the rest
                   C              Bm
Sammy speaks no Spanish but she understands

Verse 6

G                         G/F#
They go upstairs to buy the room
Em
She wants her money in advance
                   C              Bm
Sammy speaks no Spanish but he understands

Verse 7

G                                   G/F#
And lying on her back upon the bed she beckons
Em                 C
Sammy won't lie down yet
           Bm
He wants her nude

Verse 8

G                      G/F#
Speaking Spanish she refuses him
            Em
At last, afraid of losing him,
                          C
She takes off all her clothes
            Bm
He wants her nude

Bridge 2

Em                                               G
Her hands upon her heart can hardly hide the horrid scars
Em                                                    G
From her shoulder to her waist, her skin is leathery and hard

Verse 9

G                     G/F#
She pantomimes an accident
       Em
A car, a fire
           C
Not so long ago
           Bm
His eyes are wide

Verse 10

G                             G/F#
She moves to put her clothes back on
            Em
But he won't let her go
            C
He lies her down
         Bm
His eyes are wide

Verse 11

G                    G/F#
And lightly, like a Lover
                   Em                         C
Sammy lets his lips caress the leather of her breast
          Bm
His brain is numb

Verse 12

G                      G/F#
Moved by some far distant mind
                       Em
He makes himself her bride-groom
                    C
Sammy's hardly there at all
            Bm
His brain is numb

Bridge 3

Em
She moves to take him in now
                             G
But her hand finds him still slack
Em
So she sucks to make him hard
                           G
And then again lies on her back

Verse 13

G                         G/F#                    Em
And Sammy does the deed to silent screaming in his skull
                 C
The scars surround him
         Bm
Is this all real?

Verse 14

G                         G/F#
Schizophrenic, Sammy sees himself
Em                      C
Outside his body and his brain
         Bm
Is this all real?

Verse 15

G                     G/F#              Em
And back at the hotel he has to heal himself
                    C
But all he does is shake
               Bm
And shake some more

Verse 16

G                     G/F#        Em
Without the grace of tears or sickness
                              C
Sammy sucks it all inside and shakes
             Bm
And shakes some more
