7Verse 2 - same chords -:
8My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
9Kings and queens have all knocked on his door
10Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
11They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please
12
13Chorus:
F15              Dm16        Am17
14My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
         F18            Dm19          Am20
15But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
          F21        Dm22
16He's made one for himself
Am23
17One for me too
F24           Dm25         Am26
18One of these days he'll make one
F27  Dm28  Am29
19For you-------

20For you-------
F33  Dm34  Am35

24Verse 3:
25My boy builds coffins for better or worse
26Some say it's a blessing, some say it's a curse
27He fits them together in sunshine or rain
28Each one is unique, no two are the same
29
30Verse 4:
31My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
32That when each one's been made, he can't see it again
33He crafts every one with love and with care
34Then it's thrown in the ground and it just isn't fair
35
36Chorus:
F39              Dm40        Am41
37My boy builds coffins he makes them all day

38But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
          F45        Dm46
39He's made one for himself
Am47
40One for me too
F48           Dm49         Am50
41One of these days he'll make one
F51  Dm52  Am53
42For you-------

43For you-------
F57  Dm58  Am59
44For you-------
