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
