🎸 Verse 1:
 DmDm                        G minorGm
I thought to make a horseshoe, and asked my hammer thus
  G minorGm               DmDm
He said, "I'll ask the anvil what you require of us"
  DmDm                    G minorGm
The hammer asked the anvil and she at once agreed
   G minorGm                DmDm
That they should meet together in the way that I decreed


🎸 Chorus:
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
 Bb majorBb
I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm
The hammer and the anvil song

🎸 Verse 2:
 DmDm                      G minorGm
I thought to make an anchor, for taking on the main
  G minorGm           DmDm
The hammer and the anvil relented once again
  DmDm                     G minorGm
So they sat there together, as I prepared the cast
   G minorGm                 DmDm
They bracеd themselves for impact likе a sailor on the mast


🎸 Chorus:
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong

I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm
The hammer and the anvil song


🎸 Verse 3:
 DmDm                        G minorGm
I thought to make a broadsword, for fighting on the field
   G minorGm            DmDm
Much as I know the hammer is a nobler thing to wield
  DmDm                     G minorGm
For though us humble tradesfolk choose a quiet life
  G minorGm                 DmDm
The gods of war come to the door of the hammer and his wife

🎸 Chorus:
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
 Bb majorBb
I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm

🎸 Verse 4:
   DmDm                    G minorGm
They asked me for a statue of the general who died
 G minorGm                 DmDm
A augmentedA sword raised in his iron fist and a war horse sat astride
  DmDm                      G minorGm
And though I knew they'd try me for what I did decide
 G minorGm                DmDm
I stuck a hammer in his fist and an anvil by his side

🎸 Chorus:
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong

I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm
The hammer and the anvil song

  DmDm                      G minorGm
Now all you merry blacksmiths, a warning take by me
   G minorGm                 DmDm
Stick to your country horseshoes and your anchors for the sea
     DmDm                   G minorGm
When the gods of war come calling, promising you gold
    G minorGm                 DmDm
They'll take your hammer, take your anvil, take your very soul


🎸 Chorus:
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
 Bb majorBb
I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm
The hammer and the anvil song
    DmDm        A minorAm
And it's sparks a-flying, passion strong
 Bb majorBb
I am the blacksmith singing
  G minorGm       A minorAm  DmDm
The hammer and the anvil song
