If I Had A Hammer

Peter Paul And Mary

Text File

Ok So there are two ways to play this song. I saw one way that has a C#m in it and that is unnecessary! The basic chords to this are: A, D, and E The first way to play this song is to play these chords either open or with bar chords chords sound better, in my opinion): Intro: A (for two measures), D, E x2 A D E If I had a hammer A D E I'd hammer in the morning A D I'd hammer in the evening E All over this land A I'd hammer out danger D (or D7) I'd hammer out a warning D A D A I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters D E A D E All over this land End: A D A. ------------------------------------------ The second way is with a capo on the 2nd fret: Intro: G (held for two measures), C, D x2 G C D If I had a hammer G C D I'd hammer in the morning G C I'd hammer in the evening D All over this land G I'd hammer out danger C I'd hammer out a warning C G C G I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters C D G C D All over this land End: G C G. ------------------------------------------------ Either Way is easy and sounds good. I have performed this song with a friend of mine the second way and me using the first. Listen to the song for strumming and phrasing. Have Comment with comments (haha) or correctins. :]
