I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups.
The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

If I Had A Hammer
By Lee Hays and Pete Seeger Rise Up Singing chapter: Struggle, p.215 C Em F G (2x) / C - D - G - - - C - F G Am - F G / F C F C F C G - C - - -
This song was done today by request from SirCoughsalot on YouTube.
I love it! I've tried to tell my wife for several years how to play this song and you show clearly it starts in C Em F and G which was the way I was taught back in 1964!
