Billy Dean - Throw That Hammer Down guitar chord

G C G

I was framin houses in Houston one August afternoon

When the formans wife pulled up in her Lincoln and

D G

She said I've been lookin for you the ol man went home early

C G

Do you want to take a ride to town I said I guess it couldn't do no harm

D G

I threw my hammer down

G C

G

We were shootin staight tequila when the forman came stormin in

G D

He said Honey now didn't I warn ya what I'd do if I caught you again

G C

Well she pulled out her little pistol she fired and he hit the ground

G

She grabed my arm we jumped into that lincoln and

D G

I put that hammer down (Chorus)

C G F

Hammer Down Hammer down don't look back it's to late now

C Bb

Ain't nothin you can do about it anyhow

C Bb D G

just put that hammer just put that hammer down

G C G

I heard the sierins moanin just east of New Orleans

D

She cryed out to the trooper thank God you rescued me

G

When they draged me into that courtroom

C G

I knew were I was bound that ol judge threw the book at me

D

then he threw his hammer down( Chorus)

G C G

On a chaingang down in Houston one August afternoon

D

I see that same ol Lincoln and at the wheel theres a brand new fool

G C

then the warden taps my shoulder he says son quite your foolin around

G D G

In 99 years you can lay that hammer down (Chorus)
