B                   C#m        B      F#7 
Sam was a carpenter 50 years  
  B                  C#m         B      F#7 
he pounded out blood, sweat and tears 
   E                F#7         E       F#7 
one day he hung his hammer up 
B                   C#m        B      F#7 
he wanted to do the things he loved 
     F#7                             E 
what once was Sunday fishin' now was 7 days a week 
  F#7                         E                   F# 
he told his wife "to find me, I?ll be down at the creek" 
 
 
E                             B 
I don't want to drive another nail 
F#7                               B          (walk) B  F#7 E 
I?ve worked hard to do my job and I did it well 
E                                        B 
I?ve got the scars on these two hands to show I haven't failed 
C#m                 F#7               B  C#m  B  (walk) F#7 Gm G#m 
but I don?t want to drive another nail  
 
 
Bridge  
G#m                 E                     B 
now she was a woman full of faith and old Sam was full of pride 
        G#m         F#7             E            F#7 
and she knew he had one more job to do before he died 
 
 
 
B             C#m        B      F#7 
Easter Sunday rolled around 
B                           C#m      B         F#7 
in a country church for the lost and found 
    E             F#7         E       F#7   E 
oh, Sam was there against his will 
B                        C#m       B      F#7 
as the preacher spoke on Calvary?s hill 
   F#7                               E 
of how they took the master and they nailed him to a tree  
          F#7                         E                F#7 (break) 
you could hear old Sam a cryin' as he fell down on his knees 
 
 
E                           B 
I don't wanna drive another nail 
F#7                                      B    (walk) B  F#7 E 
I want to live my life for you I want to do it well 
E 
you've got the scars on your two hands  
      B 
that show where I have failed 
C#m                   F#7           B   
lord, I don't want to drive another nail 
 
 
E                                         B 
I don't wanna drive another nail 
F#7                                      B      (walk) B  F#7 E 
I want to live my life for you I want to do it well 
E 
you've got the scars on your two hands  
      B 
that show where I have failed 
C#m(strum)            F#7(strum)    B(strum) 
lord, I don't want to drive another nail 
 
Ending - B   C#m   B   F#7  B   C#m   B   F#7  B
