Dm                                               Gm
I thought to make a horseshoe, and asked my hammer thus
   Gm                             Dm
He said, "I'll ask the anvil what you require of us"
    Dm                                       Gm
The hammer asked the anvil and she at once agreed
     Gm                               Dm
That they should meet together in the way that I decreed


[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song


[Verse 2]
  Dm                                           Gm
I thought to make an anchor, for taking on the main
    Gm                     Dm
The hammer and the anvil relented once again
   Dm                                         Gm
So they sat there together, as I prepared the cast
     Gm                                  Dm
They bracеd themselves for impact likе a sailor on the mast


[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song


[Verse 3]
  Dm                                                Gm
I thought to make a broadsword, for fighting on the field
     Gm                        Dm
Much as I know the hammer is a nobler thing to wield
    Dm                                         Gm
For though us humble tradesfolk choose a quiet life
    Gm                                  Dm
The gods of war come to the door of the hammer and his wife


[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song


[Verse 4]
     Dm                                       Gm
They asked me for a statue of the general who died
  Gm                                  Dm
A sword raised in his iron fist and a war horse sat astride
    Dm                                           Gm
And though I knew they'd try me for what I did decide
  Gm                                Dm
I stuck a hammer in his fist and an anvil by his side

[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song


[Verse 5]
    Dm                                           Gm
Now all you merry blacksmiths, a warning take by me
      Gm                                  Dm
Stick to your country horseshoes and your anchors for the sea
         Dm                                      Gm
When the gods of war come calling, promising you gold
        Gm                                 Dm
They'll take your hammer, take your anvil, take your very soul


[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
    Gm             Am    Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
