Mark Erelli - Analog Hero
[Intro]
G  C  G  C  G
[Verse 1]
He used to putter around in his barn all Cday 
A Gtool for each job and each tool in its Cplace 
GWhistling along to a song on the radiCo 
While he Ampoked through a Mason Cjar full of nuts and Dbolts 
[Verse 2]
LawnGmowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all Ccracked 
GTV screens gone blank as cataCracts 
He’d Gtake ‘em all apart when he got ‘em up on his Cbench 
One by Amone, he’d Cbring ‘em back to life aDgain 
[Chorus]
He’s the Gfix-it man, the Cfix-it man G/B  
He can’t Amput it back together, then Git was never worth a Ddamn 
Maybe he’s Gcrazy for trying to save what’s already Amgone 
Or just an Cmanalog hero in a F7world full of zeroes and Gones C  
[Verse 3]
He Gused to have a wife, but she passed a couple years aCgo 
GSomeone thought he had a daughter out in New MexiCco 
Grew Gup in the Depression, it’s a lesson that he’ll never forCget 
There’s Amnothing so broken, ain’t Clife left in it Dyet 
[Chorus]
He’s the Gfix-it man, the Cfix-it man G/B  
He can’t Amput it back together, then Git was never worth a Ddamn 
Maybe he’s Gcrazy for trying to save what’s already Amgone 
Or just an Cmanalog hero in a F7world full of zeroes and Gones C  
[Bridge]
Now your Emphone’s made in China and your Ccar is made in GJapan 
Child Emlabour sewing clothes in MaClaysia and VietGnam
Hell, it Emain’t even broken and we’re Cgoing for the upGgrade D  
Nobody thAminks twice ‘bout what we’re really throwing aFmway 
[Chorus]
He’s the Gfix-it man, the Cfix-it man G/B  
He can’t Amput it back together, then Git was never worth a Ddamn 
Maybe he’s Gcrazy for trying to save what’s already Amgone 
Or just an Cmanalog hero in a F7world full of zeroes and Emones C  Em  C  
[Verse 4]
It’s Emout with the old, in with the neCw 
(It’s out with the old, in with the new)
EmOut with the old, in with the neCw 
(Out with the old, in with the new)
EmOut with the old, in with the Cnew 
EmOut with the old, Fin with the nCew
