[Intro 3]
Eb
Hey, hey, you
Tell me how have you been?
                 Eb
You could have a steam train

[Verse 1]
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
              Cm
All you do is call me

[Pre-Chorus]
                     Eb
I'll be anything you need
                 Eb
You could have a big dipper

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

[Chorus]
        Cm Db Fm
I wanna be      your sledgehammer
Cm Db              Fm
     Why don't you call my name
Cm Db            Fm
   Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
Cm Db          Fm
     This will be my testimony

[Intrelude]
Eb
  Yeah... Yeah...
                   Eb
Show me round your fruitcage

[Verse 3]
'cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

[Chorus]
        Cm Db Fm
I wanna be      your sledgehammer
Cm Db              Fm
     Why don't you call my name
Cm Db
   Oh,
             Fm
you'd better call the sledgehammer
Cm Db         Fm
     Put your mind at rest
          Cm Db Fm
I'm gonna be      the sledgehammer
Cm Db         Fm
     This can be my testimony
Cm Db          Fm
   Oh, I'm your  sledgehammer
Cm Db          Fm
     Let there be no doubt about it
