D           C        G                D
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady 
                   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 
             C           G             D
Carrying the pots I made,  following behind me? 

C                D         G                  D
Save my love for loneliness, save my love for sorrow 
              C        G                   D
I give you my onlyness, come give me your tomorrow 

D              C            G                 D
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me? 
                 C          G              D
Answer me, babe: yes I would, I'd put you above me 

D           C      G                D
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding 
                    C              G                D
Would you miss your colored blouse, your soft shoes shining 

D C G D  C G D

D           C        G                D
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady 
                   C     G                   D
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby? 

                   C     G                   D
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
