[Verse 1]
G                              D7
Sam was a carpenter fifty years
G
He pounded out blood sweat and tears
    C
One day he hung his hammer up
   G                                D7 G
He wanted to do the things he loved
     D7                              C
What once was Sunday fishing now was seven days a week
   D7                       C                   D7
He told his wife to find me I'll be down at the creek
 
 
[Chorus]
C                           G
I don't wanna drive another nail
     D7                             G
I've worked hard to do my job and I did it well
     C                                     G
I've got the scars on these two hands that show I haven't failed
    Am            D7            G
But I don't wanna drive another nail
 
 
[Bridge]
    Em              C                 G
Now she was a woman full of faith and old Sam was full of pride
        Am               G               C            D7
And she knew that he had one more job to do before he died
 
 
[Verse 2]
G             D7            G D7
Easter Sunday rolled around
G                           C        G
At a country church for the lost and found
    C
Old Sam was there against his will
       G
As the preacher spoke on Calvary's hill
   D7                                C
Of how they took the Master and they nailed Him to a tree
              D7                          C                D7
And you could hear old Sam a crying as he fell down on his knees
 
 
[Chorus]
C                           G
I don't wanna drive another nail
  D7                                     G
I want to live my life for You I want to do it well
       C                                    G
You've got the scars on Your two hands that show where I have failed
     Am              D7            G
Lord I don't want to drive another nail
