Hammer And The Anvil chords
Start Jamming...
I thought to make a horseshoe and ask my hammer thus
He said I'll ask the anvil what you require of us
The hammer asked the anvil and she had once agreed
That [G] they should meet together in the way that I [Ebm] decreed and it's
sparks are flying
[Db] passion strong
[B] I am the blacksmith [Gb] singing the hammer and the anvil [Eb] song
I thought to make an anchor for taking on the main the hammer and the anvil
Relented once again, so they sat there together
As I prepared the cast they braced themselves for impact like a sailor on the mast and it's
sparks are flying
[Db]
passion strong
[B] I am the blacksmith singing the hammer [Eb] and the anvil song
I thought to make a broadsword for fighting on the field
[Abm] Much as I know the hammer is a nobler thing [Db] to wield for though us humble tradesfolk
Choose a quiet life
the gods of war come to the door of the hammer and his wife [Bb] and it's
[Ebm] sparks are flying
[Db] passion strong
[Bb] I am the blacksmith singing the hammer and the anvil song
[N] They asked me for a statue of the general who died
A sword raised in his iron fist and a warhorse sat astride
And though I knew they'd try me for what I did decide
I stuck a hammer in his fist and an anvil by his side and [Ebm] it's
sparks are flying
[Db] passion strong
[B] I am the blacksmith singing the hammer and the [Bb] anvil song
[F] Now all you merry blacksmiths a warning take by me
Stick to your country horse shoes [Gb] and your anchors for the sea
When the gods of war come [F] calling
Promising you gold.
They'll take your hammer.
Take your anvil.
Take your very soul and it's
[Ebm] sparks are flying
[Ab] passion strong
[B] I am the blacksmith singing the hammer [Ebm] and the anvil song [D] and it's
sparks are flying
[Db] passion strong
[B] I am the blacksmith singing the hammer and [Eb] the anvil [Ebm] song
