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

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
