If I Had A Hammer

Verse 1
D                            A
The love cry of the traveling man goes
G                           G/F#     Em
No one knows      who I     am

D                                     A
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
          G                  G/F#              Em
That’s losing the heat from your hand

Verse 2

                              A 

    A quiet man sits quietly learning his lesson
    The slow smooth wheel of disintegration
 

Same as Verse 1
You don’t want them to talk to you
No you don’t want to take part
You say, “Just get me back to the leper colony
‘Cause that’s where you left my heart.”

Same as Verse 2
I feel time pass by like a joy no medicine can preserve
Somewhere along the line I lost my nerve

Same as Verse 1 
Maybe I’m almost there


G                                      A
Give me the keys to your theme park
C#m

Bury me under your layer of snow
G                              A
And watch me ride all the rides
C#m       
Around and around I go

Same as Verse 1
I don’t know if I’ve reached the bottom yet
And I don’t know if the ice has finally begun to set
I feel time pass like a joy I tried so hard to relearn
But somewhere along the line
I passed the point of no return
Maybe I’m almost there
The love cry of the traveling man goes
No one knows who I am
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
That’s losing the heat from your hand
