Verse:
 E MajorE
He's been roundin' off bolts since the age of fourteen
   B7B7           E MajorE
Was that a five eighths or a nine sixteenths?
E MajorE
He's got a metric socket that don't quite fit
      B7B7                   E MajorE
Well it'll wiggle just a little but it ain't quite stripped
     A augmentedA
The safety guard's gone from his grinding machine
      E MajorE
He got a stiff paint brush he only kinda got clean
     A augmentedA
He's the hired man, my neighbor and a cousin in law
       E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
He's a jerry riggin' fool, he got the tool for the job

Chorus:
       A augmentedA
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
   E MajorE
A augmentedA wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else
  A augmentedA
It just don't seem to make much difference
  E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
I sure do like him but he's hard on equipment


Verse:
 E MajorE
His corners ain't square and his floor ain't level
   B7B7           E MajorE
And he's always had trouble with the old tape measure
E MajorE
His doors don't close ‘cause the jamb ain't plumb
      B7B7               E MajorE
And he's a Goddamn menace with an air nail gun
     A augmentedA
They love to see him comin' at the lumberyard store
     E MajorE
Fixed the leak in his roof with a two by four
     A augmentedA
Drilled holes in his boards with the wrong kinda bit
       E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
And when they don't line up he blames the government

Chorus:
       A augmentedA
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
   E MajorE
A augmentedA wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else
  A augmentedA
It just don't seem to make much difference
  E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
I sure do like him but he's hard on equipment

Verse:
 E MajorE
He got the whole front yard full of fix ‘em up cars
   B7B7           E MajorE
Three don't run and the rest won't start
 E MajorE
Everything's fine with his rebuilt motor
      B7B7                   E MajorE
Except of course for the couple spare parts left over
     A augmentedA
Baler wire tie downs goin' down the road
     E MajorE
On two bald tires and an oversize load
     A augmentedA
He ain't never read a manual ‘cause that's like cheatin'
       E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
He don't mind a little grease on his hands while he's eatin'

Chorus:
       A augmentedA
Well it's vise grips for pliers, and pliers for a wrench
   E MajorE
A augmentedA wrench for a hammer, hammers everything else
  A augmentedA
It just don't seem to make much difference
  E MajorE             B7B7     E MajorE
I sure do like him but he's hard on equipment
