My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
                          D
I've been so sad and so blue
   G
So I started out drinking for past time
                    D           G
Driving nails in my coffin over you
 
G                                    
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
                               D
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
         G
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
               D          G    G  D  G  D  G
Driving those nails over you

G 
Every since the day that we parted
                         D
I've been so sad and so blue
G
I'm always thinking about you love
                      D                 G
And I just can't quit drinking that old booze
 
G 
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
                               D
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
         G
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
              D          G    
Driving those nails over you

G  D  G  D  G   G  D  G  D  G

G
You've done me wrong you don't want me
                           D
There's nothing now I can lose
      G            
I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin
                  D             G
And worryin', my darlin', over you

G                                    
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
                               D
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
         G
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
               D          G     
Driving those nails over you

G                                    
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
                               D
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
         G
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
               D          G     
Driving those nails over you
                       D          G     (G D G)
Yes I’m driving those nails over you
