[Verse 1]
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
