Em
   Oh please don't send me out
         D
Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil
Em    G             D       Em
I been walking on a road of rocks
      D
And I keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering,
              Em
Hammering the anvil

[Verse 2]
Em    G             D      Em
Don't let the sun go down
         D
Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace
Em      G      D      Em
I been buried in the snow
      D
And I keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing,
           Em
Firing the furnace

[Verse 3]
Em    G          D      Em
Oh        don't talk to me
         D
Said the man with the chisel, ciseling the surface
Em     G         D      Em
I been sleeping far too long
      D
And I keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling,
              Em
Chiseling the surface

[Verse 4]
Em
I don't know what you mean
         D
Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes
Em
I been digging in the frozen ground
      D
And I keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling,
              Em
Shoveling the ashes

[Outro]
Em
Shoveling the ashes, chiseling the surface, firing the furnace, hammering the anvil
