Hammers Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G C G C
Saw the swing of the hammer
Heard the crack of the ball
Saw the tenement tumble
Saw the tenement fall
Saw the baby in the manger___
He was sleeping through it all
Well, I read a story
About a man in a room
I guess he spoke his mind, but
I guess he spoke too soon
Well, he should've kept them guessing___
Instead of howling at the moon
Shoved my hands in my pockets
And I shuffled in time
Took my place at the back of
The unemployment line
Standing like a statue___
Deaf dumb and blind
Deaf dumb and blind
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C G C G C D C G D G C G C
Saw the swing of the hammer
Heard the crack of the ball
Saw the tenement tumble
Saw the tenement fall
Saw the baby in the manger___
He was sleeping through it all
Through it all
Through it all
