C5
My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely 
                             G5
She said that she and I were thru 
     C5
So I started out drinkin' for pastime 
                    G5          C5
Drivin' Nails In My Coffin over you. 
 
CHORUS 

I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin 
                               G5
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of brew 
         C5
I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin 
                     G5         C5
Lordy, drivin' those nails over you. 
 
Now ever since the day that she left me 
I've been so sad and so blue 
I'm always thinkin' of you, love 
And I just can't quit drinkin' that old brew. 
 
CHORUS
