No capo: Key of D
If I Were A Carpenter
Words & Music: Tim Hardin
(Intro) D C G D
(Verse 1)
D C G D
If I.. were a carpenter and you were a lady,
D C G D
would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
D C G D
If a tinker were my trade would you still love me?
D C G D
Carrying the pots I made following behind me.
(Chorus)
C D G D
Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow,
D C G D
I'm given you my ownliness, Come give your tomorrow.
(Verse 2)
D C G D
If I worked my hands in wood, Would you still love me?
D C G D
Answer me babe, "Yes I would, I'll put you above me."
D C G D
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding,
D C G D
would you miss your colored box, your soft shoe shining?
(Chorus)
C D G D
Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow,
D C G D
I'm given you my ownliness, Come give your tomorrow.
(Verse 3)
D C G D
If I.. were a carpenter and you were a lady,
D C G D
would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
D C G D
would you marry me anyway? Would you have my baby?
