Sammy was low, just watching the show

Over and over again

To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy, who do you think that you are?

You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"

Spread your wings and fly away

Pull yourself together 
           C

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room 
G                                E 
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon 
Am                       D/F# 
Wishing he was miles and miles away
