A Man with a hammer

Written by Mike Reid & Allen Shamblin

Performed by Mike Reid

1992

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

Chorus

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
