Handy Man
James Taylor
(O. Blackwell, J. Jones) 1959

[||: D A Bm :||]
Hey girls, gather round [D, A/C#]
Listen to what I’m putting down [Bm, A]
Hey babe, I’m your handy man [G A D, G A]

I’m not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I’m handy with love and I’m no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can [G A G D, G D A]

If your broken heart should need repair
Then I’m the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They’ll come runnin’ to me

Here is the main thing I want to say [G A D, /c#]
I’m busy 24 hours a day [/a]
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can [G A G D, G A]

Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They’ll come runnin’ to me
[fade on D-A/C#-Bm progression]
That’s me
I’m your handy man
