D                              G              D
Since that blessed night in a manger, she watched her baby grow.
                                                  Em            A
It seems like yesterday He was in her arms, where did the time go?
      D                                   G           D
He learned His Father's trade, as she marveled at it all.
                                                    Em         A7    D
The sweat dropped from her little carpenter, as He made the timbers fall.

[Chorus]
         Bm                G                D                  Bm              G              Em    A7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside...  And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G              D                 G                Bm                A7               D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will...  As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.

[Verse 2]
          D                      G           D
In the streets of Jerusalem, a child can disappear.
                                             Em            A
She was frantic as she looked for Him, until she began to hear...
       D                            G                D
The hammers up at the temple, she called Him as she ran.
                                          Em     A7
Surprised she found Him teaching, like no or-din-ary man.

[Chorus]
        Bm                 G                D                  Bm              G              Em    A7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside...  And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G              D                 G                Bm                A7               D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will...  As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.

[Verse 3]
   D                                    G            D
Darkness covered all the land, in the middle of the day.
                              Em              A7
She began to tremble, as the earth began to quake.
   D                                   G7       D
Hammers, nails and timbers, of the carpenters trade...
                                              Em               D
Made the sound that pierced her soul, as the cross was being raised.

[Chorus]
        Bm                 G                D                  Bm              G              Em    A7
She can hear the driving nails, upon the hillside...  And she prays that His spirit will not fail.
      Bm           G              D                 G                Bm                A7               D
She watches as a young man, undertakes His Fathers will...  As she stands and listens, to the driving nails.

[Outro]
         Bm                                 D
And she cries and listens, to the driving nails.
