Dan Fogelberg – Song For A Carpenter (Guitar)

       C                   G
Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter

   F                  G
He works his hands in wood

       C                 G
And he lives the way his granddad

           F               G
Might have liked and understood

   C                 G
He goes to work each morning

       F                G
And he comes home every night

        C         Cmaj9  Am    G
And the time that passes in between

   F         G          C
He knows has been spent right

   C               G
A child in South Ohio

   F                G
A man in Northern Maine

    C                     G
He took his dream to the end of the world

           F             G
And he brought it back again

         C               G
Here he met his sweet Rebekah

         F                 G
Here he came to make his stand

        C      Cmaj9        Am    G
In a house he built in the piny woods

            F     G        C
Where the ocean meets the land

C    G    F   G    C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go

F             G           C
Sing for the love of the land

F   G    Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home

F            G           C
Born of the carpenter's hand

         C                 G
Oh, his hair is rough and curly

         F                    G
And his legs they reach the ground

         C                G
And his eyes are full of living

         F                  G
And his back is broad and brown

         C                 G
And his heart is sure and stubborn

          F                    G
And his pride's too strong to bend

     C       Cmaj9   Am       G
And somewhere in his life he found

     F      G       C
The time to be my friend

C    G    F   G    C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go

F             G           C
Sing for the love of the land

F   G    Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home

F            G           C
Born of the carpenter's hand

G       C                 G
Oh, he loves his sweet Rebekah

       F                 G
He'll love her 'til his death

         C              G
And she gave to him a bonny son

          F               G
And they named the child Seth

     C               G
And now they are a family

      F          G
A community of three

 C    Cmaj9    Am   G
Living in the piny woods

           F    G         C
Where the soil meets the sea

C    G    F   G    C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go

F             G           C
Sing for the love of the land

F   G    Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home

F            G           C   Am
Born of the carpenter's hand

F            G           C
Born of the carpenter's hand
