All right, we're here for James Taylor.
This is an old standard of his called Handyman.
[Dm] And the only thing you got to watch for, as [N] I mentioned, for those watching the demo, is the end of this song, if you're singing it.
And you're going to do the background, and then James Taylor kind of jumps in with a couple of words.
And you're going to bounce back and forth between those lead and background, lead and [D] background.
It [D#] takes a bit of breath out of you if you're not [G]
[D] careful.
[G] You've got to be ready for that.
So anyway, let's give it a play, see if [Dm] I can pull it off.
This [C] one's called [D] Handyman.

[Bm] [D] [A]

[Bm] Listen to what I put them down
[G] Hey baby, [A]
I'm [G] your [C#] [D] handyman
[G]
[A] [D] I'm not the kind to [A] use a [Bm] pencil or a [Em] rule
[F#m] Handy with love [Bm] and I'm no fool
[G] I fix broken hearts, [A] I know, [G] but I truly [D] can
[G]
[D] [G] If your broken heart should need repair
[Am] Then I [C#] am the [D] man you see
[G] I'll whisper sweet things, tell all your friends
[E] They'll come [G] [A] running to me
[D] [G] Here [A] is the [D] main thing that I want to [A] say
[Bm] I'm busy 24 hours a [G] day
I fix broken hearts, [A] I know, [G] but I [D] truly can
[G]
[A] [D] Come [A] on, come on, come on, [Bm] come on
[D] [A]
Yeah, [Bm] yeah, yeah

Oh [E] yeah, they'll [B] come [A] running to me
[G] Here [A] is the [G] main thing [D] that I want to [A] [Bm] say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
[G] I fix broken hearts, [A] I know, but I [D] truly can
[G]
[A] [D] Come on, come [A] on, come on, come [Bm] on
[D] [A]
Yeah, [Bm] yeah, yeah [D] That's me
Come on, [A] come on, come on, come on, [Bm] come on
I'm your [D] handyman
[A] Yeah, [Bm] yeah, yeah [D] That's me

I'm your [D] handyman
[A] Yeah, [Bm] yeah, yeah
[C#] [D] That's me
Come on, [A] come on, come on, [Bm] come on, come on
[D] I'm your handyman
[A]
[Bm] Yeah, yeah
[F#] So you [N] can see what can happen there when you're trying to sing both of those parts.
But anyway, a great old classic there from James Taylor called Handyman.
Thanks for joining me folks, we'll see you next time.
