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.
