(ver. 1)
Steve Earle
[Verse 1]


E                           B                    E
One of these days I'm gonna lay down this hammer down
E               B                E
I won't have to drag this wieght around 
E         A                         E
When ther ain't no hunger and there ain't no pain
B               E 
I won't have to swing this thing
E                           B               E
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down


[Verse 2]

E                             B                E
One of these nights I'm gonna sing a different tune
E              B                  E
All night long beneath the silver moon
E        A                   E
When the war is over and the union strong
B                  E
We'll sing no more angry songs
E                             B                E
One of these nights I'm gonna sing a different tune

[bridge]

B               E
Someday when my struggles through
B               E
I won't have to strike
B              E
Until then all I can do
E                B
Is let my hammer fly


[Verse 3]

E                           B               E
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down
E                B              E
Leave my burdens resting on the ground
E        A                       E
When the air don't choke and the oceans clean
B                          E 
And the kids don't die for gasoline 
E                           B               E
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down

[Bridge]

B                E
John Henry was a mighty man 
B                E
Worked his whole life long
B                 E
When he made that hammer ring
E              B
He always sang this song


[Verse 4]

E                           B               E
One of these days I'm gonna lay this hammer down
E               B                E
I won't have to drag this wieght around
E          A                         E
When there ain't no hunger and there ain't no pain
B               E 
I won't have to swing this thing
E                           B               E 
One of these days I'm gonna put this hammer down
