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
