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
