[Intro] C Em Am D x2 [Verse]
     G                                 D
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady

                   C   Em  Am                    D
Would you marry me anyway? - would you have my baby?

            G                        D
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding

                    C       Em    Am                    D
Would you miss your colored blouse - and your soft shoe shining

D                              G                 D
Save my love from loneliness - save my love from sorrow

D                C       Em  Am          D
I'm giving you my onliness - give me your tomorrow
[Instrumental] C Em Am D G D C Em Am D x2 C Em Am D x2 [Verse]
     G                                 D
If I were a tinker, would you come and find me?

                    C      Em Am                D
Could you carry the things I made - and follow behind me?

                  G                              D
Or if I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?

                   C   Em Am                      D
Can you answer me "Yes I would" - Or would you be above me?

D                              G                 D
Save my love from loneliness - save my love from sorrow

D                  C     Em  Am          D
I'm giving you my onliness - give me your tomorrow

D                  C     Em  Am          D
I'm giving you my onliness - give me your tomorrow
[Outro] C Em Am D
