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:
, , and
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: (for two measures), , x2
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
(or )
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
End: .

The second way is with a capo on the 2nd fret:
Intro: G (held for two measures), C, D x2
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
End: .
------------------------------------------------
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. :]
