[Verse 1]
[F]My boy builds [Dm]cof fins
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]cof fins
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
They [F]all come to him [Dm]'cause
he's so [Am]eager to please

[Chorus 1]
[F]My boy builds [Dm]cof fins
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 him[Dm]self
[Am]One for me too
[F]One of these [Dm]days he'll [Am]make one
for [F]you[G][Am]
For [F]you[Am]
For [F]you[G][Am]
For [F]you[Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]My boy builds [Dm]cof fins
for [Am]better or worse
Some [F]say its a bles[Dm]sing,
some [Am]say its a curse
He [F]fits them togeth[Dm]er
in [Am]sun shine or rain
Each [F]one is u[Dm]nique,
no [Am]two are the same
[F]My boy builds [Dm]cof fins
and I [Am]think it's a shame
That when [F]each ones been [Dm]made,
he can't [Am]see it again
He [F]crafts every[Dm]one
with [Am]love and with care
Then its [F]thrown in the [Dm]ground
and it [Am]just isn't fair

[Chorus 2]
[F]My boy builds [Dm]cof fins
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 him[Dm]self
[Am]One for me too
[F]One of these [Dm]days he'll [Am]make one
for [F]you[Dm][Am]
For [F]you[Dm][Am]
For [F]you[Dm][Am]
For [F]you[Dm][Am]

[Outro 1]
[F]Oh[Dm][Am]
[F]Oh, [Dm]oh, [Am]oh
[F]Oh[Dm][Am]
[F]Oh[Dm][Am]
