IF I WERE A CARPENTER
Tim Hardin
[D] If I were a [C]
carpenter,
[G] And you were a [D]
lady,
Would you marry me [C] anyway?
[G] Would you have my [D]
baby?
If a tinker [C] was my trade,
[G] Would you still [D]
love me?
Carrying the [C] pots I made,
[G] Following be-[D]-hind
me.
[C] Save my love through [D] loneliness,
[Em] Save my [C] love
for [D] sorrow.
I've given you my [C] ownliness,
[G] Come and give me your to-[D]-morrow.
If I worked my [C] hands in wood,
[G] Would you still [D]
love me?
Answer me babe, [C] "Yes I would.
[G] I'd put you a-[D]-bove
me."
If I were a [C]miller,
[G] At a mill wheel [D]
grinding,
Would you miss your [C] coloured box,
[G] Your soft shoes [D]
shining?
[C] Save my love through [D] loneliness,
[Em] Save my [C] love
for [D] sorrow.
I've given you my [C] ownliness,
[G] Come and give me your to-[D]-morrow.
