Lyrics of
Handy Man

Handy Man was originally recorded by Jimmy Jones in 1960. James Taylors version, released in 1977, brought a new dimension to the classic, earning it a new audience. Taylor altered the songs melody and gave it a softer, more acoustic feel, diverging from the originals doo-wop vibe.

Handy Man chords (version 1)
James Taylor
Capo II
Hey girls gather round
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Hey baby, I'm you handyman
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 am the man to see
I whisper sweet things you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come a come a come a come a come come
Yeah yeah yeah
Come a come a come a come a come come
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts baby I'm your handyman
Come a come a come a come a come come
Yeah yeah yeah 4x

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Hey baby, I'm your handyman
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or ruler
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 am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
