Handy Man                                         James Taylor, Otis Blackwell, 1959

 

[||: D A Bm :||]

Hey girls, gather round / Listen to what I’m putting down

Hey babe, I’m your handy man

 

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

 

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 / I’m busy 24 hours a day

I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can

 

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
