Chris Knight - The Hammer Goin' Down guitar chord

The Hammer Goin' Down

By Chris Knight

Capo 2

Am

The sun's going down on me

C

Thoughts of her keep haunting me

F Am

Desperation's taking hold

Am

My hands are on the steering wheel

C

But my heart's back in Louisville

F Am

At the far end of a thousand miles of road

Chorus:

F Am

My mind's grinding like a steel gear baby

F G

I've got to cover some ground

F C

She'd know how hard and fast I've fallen for her

F G

If she could just hear the sound

Am

Of the hammer going down

Now I ain't going to waste my time

Talking on no pay phone lines

Words just don't get the message through

If this rig'll hold out one more day

She'll hear me forty miles away

Tearing this four lane half in two

Chorus

Now she ain't just a truck stop queen

She's the light guiding me

A thousand miles for her love

Well I'd go a million for one kiss

Drive those pistons with my fists

And do it all gain if it ain't enough

Chorus
