Lyrics

Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail (Dargan)

G C If we work that hard we cannot fail Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail G C We can never stop, we must prevail Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail

Am			  Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home

C D Hammer it, hammer it home

G C Let’s skip that space beyond the pale Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail G C We’ll pay it all on a sliding scale Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail

Am			  Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home

C D Hammer it, hammer it home

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE: E // D (x4)

G C So lavishly we doth regale Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail G C Listening to A Trick of the Tail Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail

Am			  Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home

C D Hammer it, hammer it home

It's interesting because this song's form reminds me a LOT of how old hymns were written. The repeating line every 2nd and 4th line of the verses and then having a completely removed refrain that's still relevant but reinforcing what's happening with that repetitive 2nd and 4th line in each verse. I really like what you've done! It's great!

Love the instrumental break. Amazing lyrics. Frames and nails are so permanent. I like how the chorus easily sticks in my head. Great writing friend :)

So good. I aspire to be so economical! Another winner.

Really fun song! I love the timing and spacing of the lyrics in the hook. Cool idea for song structure also.
