When All You’ve Got Is A Hammer - Gretchen Peters (Verse 1) Am There’s a bible on the table C there's a bottle on the shelf F Am there's a woman in the kitchen E7 cryin' quietly to herself Am down the hallway, in the bedroom C you can hear his children wail F Am when all you got is a hammer E7 Am everything looks like a nail. (Verse 2) Am well he came home from the desert C with a medal on his chest F Am like a hero, like a champion E7 but he felt more like a guest Am now he sleeps with one eye open C and he wakes up scared as hell F Am and all he's got is a hammer E7 Am and everything looks like a nail. |(Chorus) | C G |well they teach you how to shoot and they show you how to kill | Dm E7 |but they don't show you what to do with this hole that you can't fill | Am C F E7 |so you dwell in the darkness of your soul like Jonah in the belly of the whale | F Am E7 Am |and all you got is a hammer and everything looks like a nail. (Verse 3) Am when a good man in a bad dream C can't make it on his own F Am when he can't feed his own damn children E7 on the money that he brings home Am and the deck is stacked against him C and he knows he's bound to fail F Am and all he's got is a hammer E7 Am everything looks like a nail. (Chorus x 2) F Am E7 Am When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. (Added by Rodger, Bangor Ukes - Sept ‘24)
