Intro -  B5   C#5   B5   F#5  B5   C#5   B5   F#5 (Break) 
 
B5                   C#5        B5      F#5 
Sam was a carpenter 50 years  
  B5                  C#5         B5      F#5 
he pounded out blood, sweat and tears 
   E5                F#5         E5       F#5 
one day he hung his hammer up 
B5                   C#5        B5      F#5 
he wanted to do the things he loved 
     F#5                             E5 
what once was Sunday fishin' now was 7 days a week 
  F#5                         E5                   F#5 
he told his wife "to find me, I?ll be down at the creek" 
 
 
E5                             B5 
I don't want to drive another nail 
F#5                               B5          (walk) B5  F#5 E5 
I?ve worked hard to do my job and I did it well 
E5                                        B5 
I?ve got the scars on these two hands to show I haven't failed 
C#5                 F#5               B5  C#5  B5  (walk) F#5 G5 G#5 
but I don?t want to drive another nail  
 
Bridge  
G#5                 E5                     B5 
now she was a woman full of faith and old Sam was full of pride 
        G#5         F#5             E5            F#5 
and she knew he had one more job to do before he died 
 
 
B5             C#5        B5      F#5 
Easter Sunday rolled around 
B5                           C#5      B5         F#5 
in a country church for the lost and found 
    E5             F#5         E5       F#5   E5 
oh, Sam was there against his will 
B5                        C#5       B5      F#5 
as the preacher spoke on Calvary?s hill 
   F#5                               E5 
of how they took the master and they nailed him to a tree  
          F#5                         E5                F#5 (break) 
you could hear old Sam a cryin' as he fell down on his knees 
 
 
E5                           B5 
I don't wanna drive another nail 
F#5                                      B5    (walk) B5  F#5 E5 
I want to live my life for you I want to do it well 
E5 
you've got the scars on your two hands  
      B5 
that show where I have failed 
C#5                   F#5           B5   
lord, I don't want to drive another nail 
 
 
E5                                         B5 
I don't wanna drive another nail 
F#5                                      B5      (walk) B5  F#5 E5 
I want to live my life for you I want to do it well 
E5 
you've got the scars on your two hands  
      B5 
that show where I have failed 
C#5 (strum )            F#5 (strum )    B5 (strum ) 
lord, I don't want to drive another nail
