This song sounds like a fairly simple chord progression but being the amateur that I am haven't been able to figure it out. Does anyone have these chords or a link to them.
There are chords for it on Country Tabs ( http://www.countrytabs.com ). To view them you need to register but registration is free. You are right; it's a three chord song- E,B, and A with the capo on the second fret (putting it in the key of F#).
Here is the first verse:
E B E
One of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
E B E
i wont have to drag this weight around
E A E
when there aint no hunger and there aint no pain
B E
i wont have to swing this thing
E B E
one of these days im gonna lay this hammer down
Regards,
Mike

I had a chance to Steve Earle on his tour for the Washington Square Serenade CD. This is one of many great songs on that album.
