 intro
 Frank  D. Fixer was a handyman
 He  could handle everything; he was my granddad
 He  grew his own food and fixed his own car
 I  watched it all happen in our backyard
 He'd reinvent  the part to fix the broken home
 He restored  the heart
 I  wish I  was a fixer
 I  would  fix you up inside
 I  would  build you  a town if the world fell down
 I  wish I  was that guy
 If  Frank D. Fixer were alive today
 Well  he may laugh at me and he may have a lot to say
 Well  he might ask that I keep working for the family
 To  keep the bills all paid and be his protégé
 What happened  to the ground right where we are?
 What happened  to the family farm?
 Esus2 B5 F11b9 C - 2 times
 Every  evening  breaking  bread
 He showed  us who  a real man is
 No matter  what my grandma says
 He would  never lose his head
 I  wish I  was a farmer
 I  would  grow you a Garden of Eden
 I  would  bless the  family with the gifts that granddad handed me
 How  wonderful  that would be
 Baby  I'll  make that guy be me
VERY-VERY simple solo at the end
1st -3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
2nd -2-3-3-3-2-3-3-3-0-1-2-3- and play with it; look like Jason does it
