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? (Outro) D C G D (Melody line) If I were a car-pen-ter and u were a lady E----------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------- G-------0---2---2---0---0----0--0--2---4--4-2--------- D-4--4------------------------------------------------ A----------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- w'ld u marry me anyway w'ld u have my baby E----------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------- D--4---4--4-2--0---2-0--------------0---2--2-0-------- A----------------------3------2--2-------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- if I tink'r were my trade w'ld u still love me E----------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------- G-------0--2----2---0---0------0--2---4-----4---2----- D-0--4------------------------------------------------ A----------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- carry'n the pots I made follow'n behind me E----------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------- D-4-4-2----0---2---0--------------0---2--2---0-------- A----------------------3----2--2---------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- Save my luv thr'gh lonelyness save my luv for sorrow E----------------------------------------------------- B--1----1--3-----5----3------------------------------- G------------------------2--2----0----0---2--4---2---- D---------------------------------------------------4- A----------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------- Check-out my Edie Brickell posting for "Circle" And my "Kate Wolf" postings.
