Chords for Thom Bresh w/Johnny Hiland - "9 Pound Hammer" - July 14, 2018

You were the inspiration, you and Noki both, brother.
I know, it's our fault.
I can't play your [A] stuff anyway, so it doesn't bother me.
How could you?
[E] I can't [B] play the stuff I play.
What the hell?
[E] _ _ [G#] _ [A] That's a good sounding guitar, too.
I know.
_ [E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [A] Hit a hot lick for [E] him, just to make sure it's [Em] going.
I'm going _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ to _ _ play it.
I said one damn time,
_ _ [A] Give him each, he'll take them all, these [C#] kids.
_ [B] He asked one time, [F#] I couldn't believe it.
I was just like, really?
He said, hey, Bresha, I'm playing down here.
[A] What days do you play, Susan?
[Am] The first [F#] Wednesday of every month
at the Food and Grain store, Acme Food [A] and Grain,
right, First Avenue [A#] and Broad.
Great big place.
[G#] [F#] He's got his band down there,
and you can hear all this stuff.
He can unleash himself there.
[G#] _ _
[A] He said, hey, [F#] would you bring your guitar down
and come up and do a couple songs
and let me [D#] play the nine [A] pound hammer with you?
I said, you want to play the nine pound hammer?
[F#] Yeah.
_ Sure, something I can play.
I get as much action out of that song
as my old man did.
[A] _ [E] I had a manager
that, one of the [A] things,
a guy that [F] managed me for years,
I don't know why,
_ he's like a Beverly Hill Indian
thought I was taking 80% of his money.
This is how it [A#] turned out.
_ [G#] But he said,
one good thing about not managing you
is I don't have to hear nine [D#] pound hammer again.
What a nasty thing to say.
He's an [A] idiot.
Got that on tape?
Good.
I won't say his name because I don't want
Jim Stephanie to be
put down at all.
I wouldn't [B] do that.
Okay, we're going to
[A] play the nine pound hammer.
What would that be in [E] kilos? _
[G#] What would nine pound hammer
be in [B] kilos?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
How _ _ _ [G] much is one kilo?
_ _ [A] _ _ _ Four.
[G]
We got a one, we got a [A] four,
we got a four.
Well, four kilo hammer?
This is what you do in Australia
like Tommy when he's in
that was an orange green blue.
He's pushing too [E] much.
_ _ Don't do that.
I'm [G#m] going to get struck down.
I know, I'm going to [C#m] walk out of here.
This is a rain gutter going right out in [A] the middle.
Like _ that.
I dare you, you bastard, to shoot me. _
_ [F] Here's my number.
Are we over [F#] yet?
_ [A] Is time up yet?
[F#] _ _ _ [E] Roll on, buddy.
_ _ _ _ Don't you [A] roll so slow.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] Eat your heart.
[B] How can I [F#] roll
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [C#] with wheels
on my back? _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
The hammer is lifting
[A] _ _ on my [F] side.
_ [E] On my side.
_ I'm going on my own.
[C#m] I don't see [A] my way.
I'm a baby.
I'm a baby on the [B] ground.
No, I [E] ain't on the ground.
So roll on,
buddy, [A] don't you roll so slow.
[B] How can I roll
[G#m] when the [E] wheels won't roll?
[C#m] Yeah, roll on, buddy.
Roll [A] out on the floor.
[C#] _ [G#] How can I roll
[B] when the [E] wheels
won't roll?
I'm going to burn. _ _ _

_ Just to get [B] a little free.
To get [Bm] a little free.
[A] Yeah, [Em] when I'm on my [C#m] own,
