capo on the 3rd fret 
 
D                                             Bm 
There's a certain hill outside of town called Sam Hill 
      D                                  A 
And a certain guy used to go there every day 
      D                               Bm 
They said a certain girl lived up in Sam Hill 
      Em                           A 
Aw, a pretty girl, not hep to city ways 
 
 
      D                                     G 
This certain guy would come down the hill a smilin' 
Em                                  A 
Headed back to town at the crack of dawn 
       D                                    G 
And he had 'em all a wonderin' what he was doin' 
      D                 A                D 
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 
 
 
                                    Bm 
We knew this certain guy was not a goldminer 
         D                        A 
Cause he never took a shovel or a pick 
    D                        Bm 
He only took a little box of candy 
    Em                             A 
And disappeared in Sam Hill mighty quick 
 
 
   D                               G 
We tried to follow him to his destination 
       Em                                A 
But he had a secret path and soon he was gone 
       D                                  G 
And he had us all a wonderin' what he was doin' 
      D                 A                D    G    A    D 
Yeah, wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 
 
 
                                        Bm       
I know that you have wondered too about Sam Hill 
       D                                        A 
You've probably asked "What in Sam Hill's goin' on?" 
    D                           Bm 
All I can say in answer to your question 
       Em                        A 
Is the goin's on are still goin' on 
 
 
     D                                 G 
This certain guy's still takin' up his candy 
     Em                      A 
He's 99 and all his youth is gone 
       D                                       G 
But he climbs that hill and still comes down a smilin' 
          D                 A                D 
And we're wonderin' what in Sam Hill's goin' on 
       Bm     Em     
Wish I knew 
        A                D              
What in Sam Hill's goin' on 
         Bm          Em 
He won't tell us' 
        A                D 
What in Sam Hill's goin' on 
        Bm         Em 
He just snickers 
        A                D 
What in Sam Hill's goin' on
