(Verse)
[B]Sam was a carpenter [C#m]50 years[B] [F#7]
he[B] pounded out blood,[C#m] sweat and t[B]ears[F#7]
one[E] day he hung his [F#7]hammer up[E] [F#7]
[B]he wanted to do the [C#m]things he l[B]oved[F#7]
what [F#7]once was Sunday fishin' now was [E]7 days a week
he[F#7] told his wife "to find me, [E]I?ll be down at the [F#]creek"
[E]I don't want to drive another [B]nail
[F#7]I?ve worked[B] h[B]ar[F#7]d to[E] do my job and I did it well
[E]I?ve got the scars on these two hands to [B]show I haven't failed
[C#m]but I do[F#7]n?t wan[B]t [C#m]to d[B]ri[F#7]ve a[Gm]not[G#m]her nail

[G#m]now she was a woman [E]full of faith and old [B]Sam was full of pride
and she [G#m]knew he had [F#7]one more job to [E]do before he [F#7]died

[B]in a country church for the [C#m]lost and [B]found[F#7]
oh, [E]Sam was there [F#7]against his [E]will[F#7] [E]
[B]as the preacher spoke on [C#m]Calvary?s [B]hill[F#7]
of [F#7]how they took the master and they [E]nailed him to a tree
[F#7]you could [E]hear [F#7]old Sam a cryin' as he fell down on his knees
[E]I don't wanna drive another [B]nail
[F#7]I want to liv[B]e [B]my[F#7] lif[E]e for you I want to do it well
[E]you've got the scars on your two hands
that s[B]how where I have failed
[C#m]lord, I don't want to [F#7]drive another [B]nail
[E]I don't wanna drive another nail[B]
[F#7]I want to liv[B]e [B]my[F#7] lif[E]e for you I want to do it well
[E]you've got the scars on your two hands
that s[B]how where I have failed
strum strum strum
