If I Were A Carpenter Tim Hardin
[D]If I.. were a ca[C]rpenter [G] and you were a la[D]dy,
[D]would you marry me a[C]nyway? [G] Would you have my b[D]aby?
[D]If a tinker w[C]ere my trade [G] would you still l[D]ove me?
[D]Carrying the p[C]ots I made [G] following be[D]hind me.
(Chorus)
S[C]ave my love through lo[D]neliness, S[G]ave my love for s[D]orrow,
[D]I'm given you my o[C]wnliness, [G] Come give your to[D]morrow.
(Verse 2)
[D]If I worked my h[C]ands in wood, [G] Would you still lo[D]ve me?
[D]Answer me babe, "Y[C]es I would, [G] I'll put you ab[D]ove me."
[D]If I were a m[C]iller, [G] at a mill wheel g[D]rinding,
[D]would you miss your c[C]olored box,[G] your soft shoe s[D]hining?
(Chorus)
S[C]ave my love through lo[D]neliness, S[G]ave my love for s[D]orrow,
[D]I'm given you my o[C]wnliness, [G] Come give your to[D]morrow.
(Verse 3)
[D]If I.. were a ca[C]rpenter [G] and you were a la[D]dy,
[D]would you marry me a[C]nyway? [G] Would you have my b[D]aby?
[D]would you marry me a[C]nyway? [G] Would you have my b[D]aby?
