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
