A Man With A Hammer by Mike Reid




    A Man With A Hammer







Capo: 1st fret
 
Tuning: Standard
 
INTRO: E
 
                   E
He was solemn as a preacher
 
Steady as a rock
                    A
For thirty years my father
                      E
Punched a blue collar clock
 
When I got my diploma
                        A
I kinda let it go to my head
                  E
He pointed to his tool box
B7                E
And the he softly said
 
 
CHORUS
                    E
It was a man with a hammer
             A
Invented the wheel
                    E
Built the house you live in
             B7
And my automobile 
                    E
He can fix what you break
                     A
He can make what you need
A     A          E
Son a man with a hammer
     B7          A        E
Is a mighty fine thing to be
 
 
                      E
With the muscle in is arm, boy
 
And the sweat of his brow
                  A
He learned how to fly
                      E
And then he showed us how
 
So no matter where you go
                 A
Or how smart you get
               E
It's a fact of life, son
B7                  E
You best never ever forget
 
CHORUS
 
SOLO: E, A, B7
 
                    E
He can fix what you break
                     A
He can make what you need
A     A          E
Son a man with a hammer
     B7          A        E
Is a mighty fine thing to be
A    A          E
Oh a man with a hammer
     B7          A       E
Is a mighty fine thing indeed
 
OUTRO (Improv vocals in E):
E
It takes a man with a hammer
 
It takes a man with heart
 
Puttin' back together
 
Whatever falls apart
 
'Cause it ain't no crime to work for a livin'
 
Ain't no crime in a good, good job
 
Ain't no crime at all, yeah
