[Verse 1]
D            C        G
 If I were a carpenter
                 D
And you were a lady
                  C       G
Would you marry me anyway?
                  D
Would you have my baby?

[Verse 2]
D            C            G
 If a tinker were my trade
                D
Would you still find me
           C           G
Carrin' the pots I made
            D       C D
Followin' behind me?

[Bridge]
C                    D
Save my love through loneliness
C                D
Save my love for sorrow
                     C   G
I'm given you my onliness
                     D
Come on give me your tomorrow

[Verse 3]
D               C            G
 If I worked my hands in wood
                D
Would you still love me?
                 C            G
Answer me, babe, "Yes, I would
                    D
I will put you above me"

[Verse 4]
D            C     G
 If I were a miller
                D
At a mill wheel grinding
                    C        G
Would you miss your color box
               D
Your soft shoe shinin'?
  C G
If

 I were a carpenter And
             D
you were a lady
                    C           G
Would you marry me anyway? Would

you have my baby?
Would
