Analog Hero by Mark Erelli
Analog Hero
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C
He used to putter around in his barn all day
G C
A tool for each job and each tool in its place
G C
Whistling along to a song on the radio
Am C D
While he poked through a Mason jar full of nuts and bolts
[Verse 2]
G C
Lawnmowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all cracked
G C
TV screens gone blank as cataracts
G C
He’d take ‘em all apart when he got ‘em up on his bench
Am C D
One by one, he’d bring ‘em back to life again
[Chorus]
G C G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man
Am G D
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn
G Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone
Cm F7 G C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones
[Verse 3]
G C
He used to have a wife, but she passed a couple years ago
G C
Someone thought he had a daughter out in New Mexico
G C
Grew up in the Depression, it’s a lesson that he’ll never forget
Am C D
There’s nothing so broken, ain’t life left in it yet
[Chorus]
G C G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man
Am G D
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn
G Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone
Cm F7 G C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones
[Bridge]
Em C G
Now your phone’s made in China and your car is made in Japan
Em C G
Child labour sewing clothes in Malaysia and Vietnam
Em C G D
Hell, it ain’t even broken and we’re going for the upgrade
Am Fm
Nobody thinks twice ‘bout what we’re really throwing away
[Chorus]
G C G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man
Am G D
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn
G Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone
Cm F7 Em C Em C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones
[Verse 4]
Em C
It’s out with the old, in with the new
(It’s out with the old, in with the new)
Em C
Out with the old, in with the new
(Out with the old, in with the new)
Em C
Out with the old, in with the new
Em F C
Out with the old, in with the new
