Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail

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 :)
