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

If I had a ^Aham^Dme^Er I'd hammer in the^A mo^Drn^Eing I'd hammer in the ^Aeven^Ding All over this ^Eland I'd hammer out^A danger D (or D7) I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out ^Dlove b^Aetween my ^Dbrothers and my ^Asisters ^DAll^E over this ^Ala^Dnd^E

End: A D A. ------------------------------------------ The second way is with a capo on the 2nd fret: Intro: G (held for two measures), C, D x2

If I had a ^Ghamm^Cer^D I'd hammer in the^G mor^Cni^Dng I'd hammer in the ^Geven^Cing All over this ^Dland I'd hammer out^G danger I'd hammer out a ^Cwarning I'd hammer out ^Clove b^Getween my ^Cbrothers and my ^Gsisters ^CAll^D over this^G la^Cnd^D

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. :]
