pay attention to his specific way to play it with his right hand

intro G6

G6 Em*
Frank D. Fixer was a handyman
C G6
He could handle everything; he was my granddad
G6 Em*
He grew his own food and fixed his own car
C G6
I watched it all happen in our backyard
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G6
He’d reinvent the part to fix the broken home
C#m7b5 Cmaj7
He restored the heart

CHORUS:
C Gmaj9 G
I wish I was a fixer
C Gmaj9 F#11b9
I would fix you up inside
C Gmaj9 F#11b9 A7
I would build you a town if the world fell down
C Gmaj9 G
I wish I was that guy

G6

G6 Em*
If Frank D. Fixer were alive today
C G6
Well he may laugh at me and he may have a lot to say
G6 Em*
Well he might ask that I keep working for the family
C G6
To keep the bills all paid and be his protégé
C#m7b5 Cmaj7 G6
What happened to the ground right where we are?
C#m7b5 Cmaj7
What happened to the family farm?

CHORUS

Esus2 B5 F#11b9 C – 2 times

Esus2 B5 F#11b9 C
Every evening breaking bread
Esus2 B5 F#11b9 C
He showed us who a real man is
C#m7b5 Cmaj7
No matter what my grandma says
C#m7b5 Cmaj7
He would never lose his head

CHORUS

C Gmaj9 G
I wish I was a farmer
C Gmaj9 F#11b9
I would grow you a Garden of Eden
C Gmaj9 F#11b9 A7
I would bless the family with the gifts that granddad handed me
C Gmaj9 F#11b9
How wonderful that would be
C Gmaj9 G
Baby I’ll make that guy be me
