Verse:

------

[Eb bass & guitar riffs]

Eb 
You could have a steam train
Ab/Eb                        Eb                       
If you'd just lay down your tracks
                    Ab/Eb      Eb 
You could have an aero-plane flying
          Ab/Eb                 Eb 
If you'd bring your blue skies back

     Db/Eb    Cm 
All you do is call me
         
                     Eb Db/Eb, Eb
I'll be anything you need


You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

Chorus:

-------       
           Cm Db,    Fm

I want to be           your sledgehammer
          Cm Db,               Fm      
                 Why don't you call my name
	  Cm Db            Fm
                 Oh let me be your sledgehammer
	  Cm Db           Fm
		this will be my testimony

   Yeah.... 
[Eb riffs]

[verse]
                   Eb         
Show me round your fruitcage
            Ab/Eb           Eb
'Cos I will be your honey bee
            Ab/Eb           Eb
Open up your fruitcage
            Ab/Eb         Db/Eb       Eb
where that fruit that is sweet as can be

[chorus] 
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call me sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be your sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

   Sledge.... sledge.... sledgehammer

[Ebm brass riffs, then:]

I get it right!
I've kicked the habit (kicked the habit, kicked the habit)
Shed my skin (shed my skin)
This is the new stuff (this is the new stuff)
I go dancing in (we go dancing in)
Won't you show for me (show for me)
And I will show for you (show for you)
Please, show for me (show for me), I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
You've been coming through
I'm going to build that power
Build, build up that power, 
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, yeah, build in you
Come on, come on, help me through
come on, come on, help me through
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night
