(Gm)                   {(G)    (F#)    (F)    (D)    (G) (lo)} 
I set out on Monday the night was cold and vast 
                    (Guit Riff 1) 
and my brother slept 
(Gm) 
and though i left quite quietly 
          { (G) (F#) (F) (D) (F)(lo)}                 (guit Riff 1) 
my father raged and raged and my mother wept 
(Gm) 
now, my life was like a river all sucked into the ground 
             (G#)                         (Gm) 
and then the hammer came down, Lord the hammer came down 
 
Repeat  until:

             (G#)                          (Gm) 
and then the hammer came down, lord, the hammer came down 
              (F)                         (Eb) 
it knocked me to the ground and I said "please please, 
                 (G#)                      (Gm) 
take me back to my home town", Lord, the hammer came down
