Russian folk song
Key: Em

 6    7   -8  -8 -8   -8
From the land of the north
 -7    7    -8  -8 -8  -8
There have come man-y songs
6   6    8   -7  -7   -7
We have sung all our lives
 7  -7   -8
All day long
-8  8  -7  -7  -8     7
But of all of these tunes
  7   -7 -6*  -6*   7     6
There is one that stands out
 -4  -4   5  -5* -4
It’s the song of the 
  -6*   7  -5*  -6* 6
Sledge-ham-mer strong

(Twice as fast)

Swing, O sledge-ham-mer, 
  7    6
Swing now

Put your back in-to it,
 -8   -8  6
There you go
 8  -8   6    8  -8   6
And one now, and two now
 6   10    6
And swing, oh!
