Tom: Dm
Dm Gm
I thought to make a horseshoe, and asked my hammer thus
Gm Dm
He said, "I'll ask the anvil what you require of us"
Dm Gm
The hammer asked the anvil and she at once agreed
Gm Dm
That they should meet together in the way that I decreed
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
[Verse 2]
Dm Gm
I thought to make an anchor, for taking on the main
Gm Dm
The hammer and the anvil relented once again
Dm Gm
So they sat there together, as I prepared the cast
Gm Dm
They bracеd themselves for impact likе a sailor on the mast
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
[Verse 3]
Dm Gm
I thought to make a broadsword, for fighting on the field
Gm Dm
Much as I know the hammer is a nobler thing to wield
Dm Gm
For though us humble tradesfolk choose a quiet life
Gm Dm
The gods of war come to the door of the hammer and his wife
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
[Verse 4]
Dm Gm
They asked me for a statue of the general who died
Gm Dm
A sword raised in his iron fist and a war horse sat astride
Dm Gm
And though I knew they'd try me for what I did decide
Gm Dm
I stuck a hammer in his fist and an anvil by his side
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
[Verse 5]
Dm Gm
Now all you merry blacksmiths, a warning take by me
Gm Dm
Stick to your country horseshoes and your anchors for the sea
Dm Gm
When the gods of war come calling, promising you gold
Gm Dm
They'll take your hammer, take your anvil, take your very soul
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
Dm Am
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
Bb
I am the blacksmith singing
Gm Am Dm
The hammer and the anvil song
