C             Am           Em
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
   C             Am            Em
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
   C            Am      Em
He doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs
   C             Am                Em
He can't carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care

C             Am              Em
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
C         Am                 Em
Kings and queens; they've all knocked on his door
C           Am     Em
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
     C           Am                 Em
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

C             Am         Em
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
         C            Am          Em
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
     C            Am
He's made one for himself
Em
One for me too
C            Am         Em
One of these days he'll make one
    C Am Em
For you......
    C Am Em
For you......
    C Am Em
For you......
    C Am Em
For you......

C             Am          Em
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
     C         Am             Em
Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse
   C         Am          Em
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
     C       Am        Em
Each one is unique, no two are the same

C             Am            Em
My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
          C               Am       Em
That when each one's been made, he can't see it again
   C            Am       Em
He crafts every one with love and with care
          C             Am         Em
Then it's thrown in the ground, it just isn't fair


C             Am         Em
My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
         C            Am          Em
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
     C            Am
He's made one for himself
Em
One for me too
C            Am         Em
One of these days he'll make one
# For you.
