Chords for PETE SEEGER ~ If I Had A Hammer ~

[C#] _ _ _ _ Fifteen years ago, Lee Hayes and I wrote a song, and we never expected it would be widely
sung, perhaps me and a few more. _
But lo and behold, two years ago, a young rock and roller made a record of it.
_ _ The song is all around the world now. _ _ _
Now the interesting thing is that there's not only two ways of singing this song, there's
about five or six different ways.
_ _ But I've found that they nearly all harmonize with each other. _ _
Now there's a moral here somewhere. _ _ _
It means that you can sing it the way I wrote it, or you can sing it the way somebody else
changed it, or the way somebody else changed it.
And they all harmonize together. _ _
If I had a hand in the [F#] _

evening, then she'd fall over. _
