A 

            G          D              A      

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,  

                   G       D                 A      

would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?  

              G          D            A      

If you were a carpenter, and I were a lady,  

              G       D                 A      

I'd marry you anyway, I would have your baby.  

            G             D             A          

If a tinker was my trade, would I still find you?  

                    G              D           A         

I'd be carrying the pots you made, following behind you  

G                      A            

Save your love through loneliness,  

D                      A        

save your love through sorrow.  

              G            

I gave you my loneliness,  

D              A       

give me your tomorrow

save your love through sorrow.  

              G            

I gave you my loneliness,  

D              A       

give me your tomorrow  

            G       D               A         

If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding  

                    G                D                  A         

Would you miss your coloured blouse, and your soft shoe shining?  

              G       D               A         

If you were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding  

                G                D                A         

I'd not miss my coloured blouse, and my soft shoe shining.  

G                      A            

Save your love through loneliness,  

D                      A        

save your love through sorrow.  

              G                  D              A       

I gave you my loneliness, (both) give me your tomorrow  

               G              D               A         

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?  

               G               

I'd answer you "yes I would".  

D                     A         

And would you not be above me?  

            G          D              A      

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,  

              G       D                 A      

I'd marry you anyway, I would have your baby.  

G                      A            

Save your love through loneliness,  

D                      A        

save your love through sorrow.  

              G            

I gave you my loneliness,  

D              A       

give me your tomorrow
