"Born With A Hammer In My Hand"

Blue Highway

Capo 4

Intro - G D G C G D G

Verse: G D G

I was born with a hammer in my hand

C

It's the kind of life I doubt you'd understand

G

I'd give anything just to hear the cold steel ring

D

Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand

Swingin' steel's the only life I've known

I've never been afraid to be alone

Hope my Mama understands I'll always be a working man

Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand

John Henry was a steel-drivin' man

You could hear his hammer ring across the land

But before the steam drill came, John Henry knew my name

Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand

The bossman tries to break a good man's back

It takes thirty men to lay eight miles of track

If the shaker holds the line, they'll be thirty miles behind me

I was born with a hammer in my hand

John Henry was a steel drivin' man

You could hear his hammer ring across the land

But if you put us side by side, he'd have to run and hide

Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand

D G

Yes I'll die with a hammer in my hand
