#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.

#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.
