The Blacksmiths Son
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Chorus 1]
A D A
Me father is a blacksmith, I'm a blacksmith's son.
D E A
He taught me everything I know, until the time had come.
A D A
That I had learnt me trade so well and then I could say true,
A E A
Me father is a blacksmith and now I'm a blacksmith too.
[Verse 1]
A D A
Now when I was a little lad I watched me father work,
D E A
He bid me fetch and carry and from that I'd never shirk.
A D A
I stood beside the forge all day waiting to lend a hand,
A E A
And watching all the different jobs so I could understand.
[Chorus 2]
A D A
Oh me father is a blacksmith, I'm a blacksmith's son.
D E A
He taught me everything I know, until the time had come.
A D A
That I had learnt me trade so well and then I could say true,
A E A
Me father is a blacksmith and now I'm a blacksmith too.
[Verse 2]
A D A
And in my youth I learned more skills by working by his side,
D E A
Made ploughshares and implements and learned to take a pride -
A D A
In helping him to shoe a horse, helping to mend a wheel.
A E A
And helping with the other jobs until I got the feel.
[Chorus 3]
A D A
Oh me father is a blacksmith, I'm a blacksmith's son.
D E A
He taught me everything I know, until the time had come.
A D A
That I had learnt me trade so well and then I could say true,
A E A
Me father is a blacksmith and now I'm a blacksmith too.
[Verse 3]
A D A
In course of time I was his match, we worked as man to man.
D E A
We gained a reputation as the best smiths in the land.
A D A
But now me father's old and frail and doesn't work so free.
A E A
He stands beside me little lad who stands there watching me.
[Chorus 4]
A D A
Oh me father is a blacksmith, I'm a blacksmith's son.
D E A
He taught me everything I know, until the time had come.
A D A
That I had learnt me trade so well and then I could say true,
A E A
Me father is a blacksmith and now I'm a blacksmith too.
[Verse 4]
A D A
So now the circle's gone full turn, another little lad,
D E A
Stands beside the blacksmith's forge waiting on his dad.
A D A
I bid him fetch and carry and look forward to the day,
A E A
When he has learned all that I know and he'll turn round and say.
[Chorus 5]
A D A
Oh me father is a blacksmith, I'm a blacksmith's son.
D E A
He taught me everything I know, until the time had come.
A D A
That I had learnt me trade so well and then I could say true,
A E A
Me father is a blacksmith and now I'm a blacksmith too.
