Hammer And The Anvil

  Dm                               
I thought to make a horseshoe, and 
                Gm
asked my hammer thus
   Gm                             
He said, "I'll ask the anvil what 
Dm
you require of us"
    Dm                             
The hammer asked the anvil and she 
          Gm
at once agreed
     Gm                          
That they should meet together in 
     Dm
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                            
I thought to make an anchor, for 
               Gm
taking on the main
    Gm                     Dm
The hammer and the anvil relented 
once again
   Dm                           
So they sat there together, as I 
              Gm
prepared the cast
     Gm                          
They bracеd themselves for impact 
        Dm
likе a sailor on the mast


[Chorus]
        Dm               Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion 
strong
  Bb
I am the blacksmith singing

The hammer and the anvil song


[Verse 3]
  Dm                               
I thought to make a broadsword, for
                 Gm
 fighting on the field
     Gm                       
Much as I know the hammer is a 
 Dm
nobler thing to wield
    Dm                         
For though us humble tradesfolk 
                Gm
choose a quiet life
    Gm                             
The gods of war come to the door of
     Dm
 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                          
They asked me for a statue of the 
             Gm
general who died
  Gm                               
A sword raised in his iron fist and
   Dm
 a war horse sat astride
    Dm                             
And though I knew they'd try me for
              Gm
 what I did decide
  Gm                               
I stuck a hammer in his fist and an
 Dm
 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                          
Now all you merry blacksmiths, a 
                 Gm
warning take by me
      Gm                           
Stick to your country horseshoes 
       Dm
and your anchors for the sea
         Dm                        
When the gods of war come calling, 
              Gm
promising you gold
        Gm                         
They'll take your hammer, take your
        Dm
 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
