Peter Paul and Mary - If I had a Hammer Tabbed (well "chorded" really) by Alex Arjomand (alex@arjomand.net) No Capo. Hey all there. This is a song I loved as a kid, but couldn't find the tab anywhere. ... So ... Here is the Peter, Paul and Mary version. There are basically two chord progressions, which repeat throughout the entire song. This is straight strumming, nothing fancy. Chords:

E|--^A5---^C#m-4---^D5--^E7--^Dmaj7--5----| B|--5----5---7--9----7----| G|--6----6---7--9----6----| D|--7----6---7--9----7----| A|--7----4---5--7----5----| E|--5----4---5--7----5----|

Intro: A C#m D E (2x) Note: The verse begins the second time E is played in the intro (Verse Part 1)

^EIf I had a ^Aha^C#mmmer^D ^EI'd hammer in the ^Amo^C#mrnin^Dg ^EI'd hammer in the ^Aev^C#menin^Dg ^Eall over this land,

(Verse Part 2)

^EI'd hammer out ^Adanger Dmaj7** I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out ^Dlove ^Abetween ^Dmy brothers and my ^Asisters ^D ^EAll over this l^Aan^C#md. ^D

** I play this as Dmaj7 but its not quite right. I'm not sure what this actual chord is, but you can play either Dmaj7 or D and it sounds fine. (Verse Part 1) If I had a bell I'd ring it in the morning I'd ring it in the evening All over this land, (Verse Part 2) I'd ring out danger I'd ring out a warning I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land. (Verse Part 1) If I had a song I'd sing it in the morning I'd sing it in the evening all over this world, (Verse Part 2) I'd sing out danger I'd sing out a warning I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land. (Verse Part 1) If I've got a hammer And I've got a bell And I've got a song to sing all over this land, (Verse Part 2) It's a hammer of justice It's a bell of freedom It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land. (Last verse Repeated) It's a hammer of justice It's a bell of freedom It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
