Steve's Hammer (For Pete) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]One[A] of[D] these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer [D]down
And I won't have to drag
[A]this weight [D]around
When [G]there ain't no hunger
And there [D]ain't no pain
[A]Then I won't have [D]to swing this thing
One of these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer [D]down

[Verse 2]
[D]One of these nights [A]I'm gonna sing
a different tune
[D]All night long benea[A]th
the silvery [D]moon
When the [G]war is over
And the [D]union's strong
[A]Won't sing no more [D]angry songs
One of these nights I'm gonna
[A]sing a different tun[D]e

[Verse 3]
[A]Someday when my [D]struggle's through
[A]I won't have to s[D]trive
[A]Until then all [Bm]I can do
Is [E]let my hammer [A]fly[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]One of these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer [D]down
Leave my burden [A]restin'
on [D]the ground
When the [G]air don't choke
ya and the [D]ocean's clean
And [A]kids don't die for gas[D]oline
One of these days I'm gonna [A]lay
this hammer down
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[A]John Henry was [D]a mighty man
[A]Worked his whole life [D]long
[A]When he made that [Bm]hammer [D]ring
[Bm]He al wa[E]ys[D] sang this[E] song[A][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]One of these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer [D]down
And I won't have [A]to drag
this weight [D]around
When [G]there ain't no hunger
And [D]there ain't no pain
Then [A]I won't have t[D]o swing this thing
One of these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer [D]down

[Verse 7]
Yeah, [D]one of these days I'm gonna
[A]lay this hammer down

[Outro 1]
[D][A][D]
