DGD
Since that blessed night in a manger, she watched her baby grow.
EmA
It seems like yesterday He was in her arms, where did the time go?
DGD
He learned His Father's trade, as she marveled at it all.
EmA7D
The sweat dropped from her little carpenter, as He made the timbers fall.
[Chorus]
BmGDBmGEmA7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside... And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
BmGDGBmA7D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will... As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.
[Verse 2]
DGD
In the streets of Jerusalem, a child can disappear.
EmA
She was frantic as she looked for Him, until she began to hear...
DGD
The hammers up at the temple, she called Him as she ran.
EmA7
Surprised she found Him teaching, like no or-din-ary man.
[Chorus]
BmGDBmGEmA7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside... And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
BmGDGBmA7D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will... As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.
[Verse 3]
DGD
Darkness covered all the land, in the middle of the day.
EmA7
She began to tremble, as the earth began to quake.
DG7D
Hammers, nails and timbers, of the carpenters trade...
EmD
Made the sound that pierced her soul, as the cross was being raised.
[Chorus]
BmGDBmGEmA7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside... And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
BmGDGBmA7D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will... As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.
[Outro]
BmD
And she cries and listens, to the driving nails.
