[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
