The Hammer Song

Nick Cave

Oh please don't send me out Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil /G /F# /E I been walking on a road of rocks And I keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering, /F# Hammering the anvil Don't let the sun go down Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace I been buried in the snow And I keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing, Firing the furnace Oh don't talk to me Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface I been sleeping far too long And I keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, Chiseling the surface I don't know what you mean Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes I been digging in the frozen ground And I keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, Shoveling the ashes Shoveling the ashes, Chiseling the surface Firing the furnace, Hammering the anvil by: José Duarte [email protected]
