[Interlude]
[D] [C/D] (x4)

[Verse 1]
[C/D] [D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
You could have a steam train,
[D] [C/D] [D]
If you'd just lay down your tracks.
[C/D] [D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
You could have an aero-plane, flying,
[D] [C/D] [D]
If you bring your blue sky back.

[Bridge 1]
[C/D] [Bm] [D]
All you do is call me... I'll be anything you need.

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
[N.C.] [D] [C/D] [D]
You could have a big dipper,
[C/D] [D] [C/D] [D]
Going up and down, a-round the bends.
[C/D] [D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
You could have a bumper car, bumping,
[D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
This a-musement never ends.

[Chorus 1]
[Bm7] [C]
I wanna be,
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
(Your Sledgehammer).
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
Why don't you call my name?
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
Oh, let me be, (your Sledgehammer),
[Em7]
This will be my testimony.

[D] [C/D]
Yeah,
[D] [C/D]
(Yeah).

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
[N.C.] [D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
Show me round your fruitcage,
[D] [C/D] [D]
'Cos I will be your honey bee.
[C/D] [D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
Open up your fruitcage,
[D] [C/D] [D] [C/D]
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be.

[Chorus 2]
[Bm7] [C]
I wanna be,
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
(Your Sledgehammer).
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
Why don't you call my name?
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
You'd better call, (The Sledgehammer),
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
Put your mind at rest. I'm gonna be;

[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
(The Sledgehammer),
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
This can be my testimony, yeah!
[Em7] [Bm7] [C]
I'm your sledgehammer,
[Em7]
Let there be no doubt about it.

[Dm] [A7]
Sledge, sledge, sledgehammer.

[Coda]
[Dm]
I've kicked the habit, (I've kicked the habit),
[A#7] [G7]
Shed my skin, (shed my skin).
[Dm]
This is the new stuff, (this is the new stuff),
[A#7] [G7]
I go dancing in, we go dancing in. Oh, won't you...

[Dm]
Show for me, (show for me),
[A#7] [G7]
I will show for you, (show for you).
[Dm]
Show for me, (show for me),
[A#7] [G7]
I will show for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dm]
I do mean you, only you,
[A#7] [G7]
You've been coming through, going to build that power,
Build, build, build, build, build that power.
[Dm]
I've been feeding my rhythm,
[A#7] [G7]
I've been feeding the rhythm, going to feel that power, hey...

[Dm]
Build in you.

Come on, come on help me do, come on, come on help me do.
