(intro 2x) D C G D

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 find me?
D            C            G                D
Carrying the pots I made, following behind me

C                    D           C                    D/F#
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow
D             C          G             D
I give you my only ness, give me your tomorrow

D              C                G               D
If I worked my hands in wood oh 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 a miller were my trade I'd a mill wheel grinding
D                   C          G                 D
Would you miss your color box? Would you have my child?
