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 (x02220@1)DE If I had a hammer A (x02220@1)DE I'd hammer in the morning A (x02220@1) DI'd (xx0232@1)hammer in the evening EAll (022100@1)over this land AI'd (x02220@1)hammer out danger D(or (xx0232@1)D7) I'd hammer out a warning D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) AI'd (x02220@1)hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters D (xx0232@1)E (022100@1) AD EAll (022100@1)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 (320003@1) CD If I had a hammer G (320003@1) CD I'd hammer in the morning G (320003@1) CI'd (x32010@1)hammer in the evening DAll (xx0232@1)over this land GI'd (320003@1)hammer out danger CI'd (x32010@1)hammer out a warning C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GI'd (320003@1)hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters C (x32010@1)D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)CD 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. :]
