Tuning: Standard, CAPO 1
INTRO:
He was solemn as a preacher
Steady as a rock
For thirty years my father
Punched a blue collar clock
When I got my diploma
I kinda let it go to my head
He pointed to his tool box
And the he softly said
CHORUS
It was a man with a hammer
Invented the wheel
Built the house you live in
And my automobile
He can fix what you break
He can make what you need
Son a man with a hammer
Is a mighty fine thing to be
With the muscle in is arm, boy
And the sweat of his brow
He learned how to fly
And then he showed us how
So no matter where you go
Or how smart you get
It s a fact of life, son
You best never ever forget
CHORUS
SOLO: , ,
He can fix what you break
He can make what you need
Son a man with a hammer
Is a mighty fine thing to be
Oh a man with a hammer
Is a mighty fine thing indeed
OUTRO (Improv vocals in 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
