#1.
E5 D5 A5 E5
When you see some mud up..on the ground..
E5 D5 A5 E5 E5 A5 D5 A5
you lay down so she don`t have to walk around.
E5 D5 A5 E5
You think that will protect her from the rain..
E5 D5 A5 E5 E5 A5 D5 A5
But you`ll never, ever, stop the pain.
CHORUS:
E5 A5 B5 A5
She walks all over you, she knows she can..
A5 C5 G5 C5 C5 D5 C5 D..E5
You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.
#2.
E5 D5 A5 E5
You take such care to keep that girl`s feet clean..
E5 D5 A5 E5 E5 A5 D5
like she`s some ki..nd of figurine.
E5 D5 A5 E5
The world`s so far below her it`s not her scene..
E5 D5 A5 E5 E5 D5 A5
she depends on you to stand between.
CHORUS:
E5 A5 B5 A5
She walks all over you, she knows she can..
A5 C5 G5 C5 C5 D5 C5 D..G5
You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.
BRIDGE:
G5 D5 G5 D5
I would think you`d get tired of hurting, every now and then.
D5 G5 D5 G5 A5
It`s lonely down there, that`s for certain, and carpets do get thin.
E5 A5 D5 A5 (x2)
#3.
E5 D5 A5 E5
And that`s when they have to be thrown a..way.
E5 D5 A5 E5
That`s what she`ll say to herself, some sunny day.
E5 D5 A5 E5 D5 A5 E5
And she`ll say, 'Come to my wedding,' and of course you do.
E5 D5 A5 E5 E5 A5 D5 A5
And the Groom and her will have a dance on you.
CHORUS:
E5 A5 B5 A5
And they'll Waltz all over you, they know they can..
A5 C5 G5 C5 C5 D5 C5 D5
You`re the carpet man.......you`re the carpet man.
