The Hammer Goin' Down - Chris Knight/Dean Miller
The original key is in Bm (Dmaj). I prefer to do the song in Am standard tuning no
capo or original key Am with capo on second fret. I have submitted the tab in the
original Bm key. Shane
Intro: Bm (4 measures)
Verse 1
Bm D The sun's goin' down on me, thoughts of her keep hauntin' me, G Bm D desperation's takin' hold. My hands are on the steerin' wheel, but G my heart's back in Louisville, at the far end of a thousand miles of Bm road.
Chorus1
G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
Verse 2
Bm D Now I ain't gonna waste my time talkin' on no pay phone line, G Bm words just don't get the message through. If this rig will hold out D G one more day, she'll hear me forty miles away, tearin' in this four Bm lane half in two.
Chorus2
G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
Solo after chorus 2nd chorus

Verse 3
Bm D Now she ain't just a truck stop queen, she's the light guiding me, G Bm a thousand miles for her love. Well I'd go a million for one kiss, D G drive those pistons with my fist, and do it all again if it ain't Bm enough.
Chorus3
G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
