[Intro 1]
[Flute]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[C][Em][A][A]

[Interlude 1]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 1]
You could have a [E]steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an [E]aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is [C#m]call me
I'll be anything you [E]need

[Verse 2]
You could have a [E]big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a [E]bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

[Chorus 1]
I want to [C#m]be you[D]r s[F#m]ledgehammer
[C#m]Why do[D]n't you call my n[F#m]ame?
Oh let me [C#m]be you[D]r s[F#m]ledgehammer
[C#m]This w[D]ill be my tes[F#m]timony

[Interlude 2]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 3]
Show me round your [E]fruit cakes
'Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your [E]fruit cakes
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

[Chorus 2]
I want to [C#m]be you[D]r s[F#m]ledgehammer
[C#m]Why do[D]n't you call my n[F#m]ame?
[C#m]You'd [D]better call the [F#m]sledgehammer
[C#m]Put yo[D]ur mind at r[F#m]est

[Chorus 3]
I'm going to [C#m]be the[D] sl[F#m]edgehammer
[C#m]This c[D]an be my tes[F#m]timony
[C#m]I'm yo[D]ur sled[F#m]gehammer
[C#m]Let th[D]ere be no dou[F#m]bt about it

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I kicked the habit
[C]Shed my ski[A]n

I [C]go dancing [A]in
Oh won't [Em]you show for me
I [C]will show for [A]you
[Em]Show for me
I [C]will show for you
[A]Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro 1]
I do mean [Em]you
Only you, you've been coming [C]through
Going to build that [A]power
Build, build up that [Em]power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the [C]rhythm
Going to feel that [A]power, build in [Em]you
Come on, come on, help me do
Come on, come on, [C]help me do
[A]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, [Em]you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the [C]rhythm
It's what we're [A]doing, doing
[Fade out]
