Hard On Equipment

  E
He's been roundin' off bolts since 
the age of fourteen
      B7                      E
Was that a five eighths or a nine 
sixteenths?
E
He's got a metric socket that don't 
quite fit
            B7                     
Well it'll wiggle just a little but
                 E
 it ain't quite stripped
          A
The safety guard's gone from his 
grinding machine
           E
He got a stiff paint brush he only 
kinda got clean
          A
He's the hired man, my neighbor and 
a cousin in law
             E                   
He's a jerry riggin' fool, he got 
      B7          E
the tool for the job

[Chorus]
              A
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and
 pliers for a wrench
     E
A wrench for a hammer, hammers 
everything else
    A
It just don't seem to make much 
difference
   E                         B7   
I sure do like him but he's hard 
      E
on equipment

  E
His corners ain't square and his 
floor ain't level
      B7                      E
And he's always had trouble with the
 old tape measure
E
His doors don't close ‘cause the 
jamb ain't plumb
            B7                   
And he's a Goddamn menace with an 
          E
air nail gun
         A
They love to see him comin' at the 
lumberyard store
         E
Fixed the leak in his roof with a 
two by four
         A
Drilled holes in his boards with the
 wrong kinda bit
             E                
And when they don't line up he 
         B7          E
blames the government

[Chorus]
              A
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and
 pliers for a wrench
     E
A wrench for a hammer, hammers 
everything else
    A
It just don't seem to make much 
difference
   E                         B7   
I sure do like him but he's hard 
      E

  E
He got the whole front yard full of 
fix ‘em up cars
      B7                      E
Three don't run and the rest won't 
start
 E
Everything's fine with his rebuilt 
motor
            B7                 
Except of course for the couple 
                     E
spare parts left over
         A
Baler wire tie downs goin' down the 
road
         E
On two bald tires and an oversize 
load
         A
He ain't never read a manual ‘cause 
that's like cheatin'
             E                     
He don't mind a little grease on 
    B7          E
his hands while he's eatin'

[Chorus]
              A
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and
 pliers for a wrench
     E
A wrench for a hammer, hammers 
everything else
    A
It just don't seem to make much 
difference
   E                         B7   
I sure do like him but he's hard
