Verse 1
I (G major) was (D major)
(G major) just out of school
where I didn't learn much
Looking for a job there
wasn't much as such
Gave me a work on the fam (E flataug) ily law
When the (G major) railroads came
just be (E flataug) fore the war
I (G major) (D major) had a city and couldn't ask for more (G major)
I hammered those spikes out of molten ore
And Union Pacific was
screamin' for more
Shoulders got bigger,
my back (E flataug) got strong
Swing (E minor) that (G major) (E minor) hammer all (G major) (E flataug) day long
(E flat major) An (G major) d the (D major) trains kept a -rollin'
and the work went on (G major)
Railroad spikes, rail (D major) road spikes
Hammer (E minor) , hammer,
hammer those (G major) (C major) railroad spikes
Rail (G major) road spikes, (D major) railroad spikes
Ooh, (C major) ooh, ooh, ooh, (G major) spikes (D major) (G major)
The old canals went right out of date
Along with penny fathoms
and wooden plates
Things started moving at
incred (E flataug) ible speed
Like (E minor) a locomotive (G major) fueled
(E flataug) on (G major) greed (E flat major)
(D major) Exploit the world to get what you need (G major)
All the families,
ladies and the gentlemen, friends
In the Pullman cars comin'
round the bend
The men kept working
twenty (E flataug) -four (C minor) hours
(E flataug) Pound (E minor) ing (G major) their steel (E minor) (G major) and metal (E flataug) (G major) plows
(E flat major) They (D major) grew like weeds in the
summer shower (G major) s
Railroad spikes, rail (D major) road spikes
Hammer (E minor) , hammer,
hammer those (G major) (C major) railroad spikes
Rail (G major) road spikes, rail (D major) road spikes
Ooh, (C major) rail (G major) road spikes (D major) (G major) (E flat major) (C minor) (G major)
(E flataug) (G major) (E flat major)
(C minor) (G major)
(E flat major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
They were perfect, nice, out sleek
Just like snowflakes, out unique
They laid those tracks (C minor) all over the land
(E flataug) North (E minor) and south through
the (E flataug) Rio Grande
Henry (D major) Ford had other plans
(G major) They took that metal and melted it down
For boats and planes and artillery rounds
Some of that metal made
bullets for sure
Railroad spikes might have won the war
Then you started dying
for something (E flataug) you could feel
Creep (E minor) ing up upon you (G major) on (E flat major) four wheels
It's the (D major) final blow as the autumn all be (G major)
Final (D major) blow as the autumn all be (G major)
River of Spice, River (D major) of Spice
Hammer (E minor) , Hammer, Hammer goes
(C major) River of Spice
River (G major) of Spice, (D major) River of Spice
Ooh, (C major) ooh, (G major) ooh
River of Spice, (D major) River of Spice
Hammer (E minor) , Hammer, Hammer goes
(C major) River of Spice
River (G major) of Spice, (D major) River of Spice
Oo (C major) h, ooh, (G major) ooh
Hammer, spikes (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Hammer, hammer,
hammer those railroad spikes
(D major) Ham (G major) mer, hammer,
those railroad spikes (D major) (G major)
Hammer, (E flat major) (C minor) (G major) those
railroad (E flataug) spikes (C minor)
Hammer (G major) , (E flataug) (G major)
Hammer, hammer, hammer,
who's with (E flat major) the spikes? (G major) (C minor) (G major)
Hammer, hammer, hammer,
who's (G major) there with the spikes? (E flat major) (C minor) (G major)
(C minor) Ham mer, (G major) who's there with
the spikes? (G major) (G major)
Hammer, hammer, who's with the spikes?
