Ringing of the Steel
Peter Denahy
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
[Intro]
G D C G C G
[Verse 1]
G D
The old man used to tell me, when I was just a boy
C G C D
He was blessed because he had a job that he enjoyed
G D
Not everyone would like it, but to him the main appeal
C G C G
Was the breathing of the bellows, and the ringing of the steel
[Verse 2]
G D
I started working early, holding horses for my Pa
C G C D
It was a little town we lived in; only one man had a car
G D
And the old man used to watch him, whenever he drove past
C G C G
He said it's just a fad you know, it's never gonna last
[Refrain]
D C G
All around the forge, the old man strolled
D C G
Grabbed a bit of iron, and shoved it in the coals
G D
He was good at what he did, and he cut end on a steel
C G C G
Amongst the breathing of the bellows and the ringing of the steel
G D C G C G
[Verse 3]
G D
The old man's head got greyer, but it didn't slow him down
C G C D
He kept on shoeing horses, that were brought from round the town
G D
He showed me bits and pieces, and before too long
C G C G
I could make a decent set of shoes and shape and whack them on
[Refrain]
D C G
We'd sometimes have a shoeing race, and sweat from start to end
D C G
The old man was the master, but sometimes he'd let me win
G D
And a crowd of eager passer-bys would watch the mad ordeal
C G C G
Amongst the breathing of the bellows and the ringing of the steel
G D C G C G
[Verse 4]
G D
After years of teaching, after years of toil
C G C D
The old man was buried deep in the mountain soil
G D
I kept on with the shoeing, but the job was in recess
C G C G
The old man wasn't right about the motor car I guess
[Refrain]
D C G
Now I've all but had it, and the forge is very quiet
D C G
But I heat the coals up now and then and tinker round inside
G D
I do it for the old man, and remember how I'd feel
C G C G
Amongst the breathing of the bellows, and the ringing of the steel
C G
The ringing of the steel
