G
If I were a carpenter
D A
And you were a lady
G
Would you marry me anyway?
D A
Would you have my baby?
If a tinker was my trade
Would you still find me?
Would you carry the pots I made
Following behind me
G A
Save your love through loneliness
D A
Save your love through sorrow
G
I gave you my only-ness
D A
Give me your tomorrow
If I were a miller
And a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse?
And your soft shoes shining
Save your love.
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Would you answer me, "Yes, I would,"
And not be above me?
If I were a carpenter
And you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Save your love.
