Steve's Hammer (for Pete) Chords

(ver. 1)
Steve Earle
***Tab that was lost***
Capo 2

E                          B               E
One of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
E              B                E
i wont have to drag this weight around
E          A                        E
when there aint no hunger and there aint no pain
B              E
i wont have to swing this thing
E                          B               E
one of these days im gonna lay this hammer down

E                            B                E
One of these nights im gonna sing a different tune
E              B                   E
all night long beneieth the silver moon
E        A                   E
when the war is over and the unions strong
B                  E
we'll sing no more angry songs
E                          B                E
one of the nights im gonna sing a different tune

B               E
someday when my struggles through
B              E
i wont have to strike
B              E
until then all i can do
E                B
is let my hammer fly

E                          B               E
one of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
E               B              E
leave my burden resting on the ground
E        A                      E
when the air dont choke and the oceans clean 
B                         E
and the kids dont die for gasoline
E                          B               E
one of these days im gonna lay this hammer down

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

(All Together!)

E                          B               E
One of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
E              B                E
i wont have to drag this weight around
E          A                        E
when there aint no hunger and there aint no pain
B              E
i wont have to swing this thing
E                          B               E
one of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
