[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins with [Am] hammers and nails
He [F] doesn't build [Dm] ships, he has [Am] no use for sails
He [F] doesn't make [Dm] tables, [Am] dressers or chairs
He [F] can't carve a [Dm] whistle cause he [Am] just doesn't care
[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins for the [Am] rich and the poor
[F] Kings and [Dm] queens have all [Am] knocked on his door
[F] Beggars and [Dm] liars, [Am] gypsies and thieves
[F] They all come to [Dm] him 'cause he's so [Am] eager to please
[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins he [Am] makes them all day
But it's [F] not just for [Dm] work and it [Am] isn't for play
He's made [F] one for [Dm] himself
[Am] One for me too
[F] One of these [Dm] days he'll [Am] make one
[F] For [Dm] you [Am]
[F] For [Dm] you [Am]
[F] For [Dm] you [Am]
[F] For [Dm] you [Am]
[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins for [Am] better or worse
[F] Some say it's a [Dm] blessing, some [Am] say it's a curse
[F] He fits them [Dm] together in [Am] sunshine or rain
[F] Each one is [Dm] unique, no [Am] two are the same
[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins and I [Am] think it's a shame
That when [F] each one's been [Dm] made, he can't [Am] see it again
[F] He crafts every [Dm] one with [Am] love and with care
[F] Then it's thrown in the [Dm] ground and it [Am] just isn't fair
[F] My boy builds [Dm] coffins he [Am] makes them all day
But it's [F] not just for [Dm] work and it [Am] isn't for play
He's made [F] one for [Dm] himself
[Am] One for me too
[F] One of these [Dm] days he'll [Am] make one for you
