A Man With A Hammer

Capo 3st 
 
D 
D 
He was solemn as a preacher 
 
Steady as a rock 
                    G 
For thirty years my father 
                      D 
Punched a blue collar clock 
D 
When I got my diploma 
                        G 
I kinda let it go to my head 
                       D 
He pointed to his tool box 
A                  D 
And then he softly said 


 
Refrão -------------
D 
It was a man with a hammer 
             G 
Invented the wheel 
                    D 
Built the house you live in 
       A 
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 his arm, son 
And the sweat of his brow 
He learned how to fly 
And then he taught us how 
 
So no matter where you go 
Or how smart you get 
It?s a fact of life, son 
You best never forget 
 
Chorus
